Full Frame ended last Sunday. For most of the documentary film goers it ended with a late night re-screening of an award winning doc. For my self and Corey, it ended a bit differently…
Rewind to the day before. Corey, Kenneth and my self were heading to the corner sandwich shop and Kenneth got pulled away by a friend. Corey and I went on to eat. When Kenneth showed up he told us a story. Kenneth and friend were sitting in the hotel lobby when a man walks in with a dog. With surprise Kenneth said “What?” and his friend replied “Yeah, I know what’s with the dog??” “No, that is Orlando Bloom!” Kenneth corrected. After telling us this story I realized that same morning I was rushing to the box office because I didn’t want to miss out on films I wanted to see. As I came up the stairs, there was a dog tied to the railing. It was Orlando Bloom and his black lab…I walked right by.

Friday, day two of Full Frame. I’m kind of upset at how they did tickets this year. Seems they didn’t set aside tickets for passholders, and allowed online single tickets. This made for films selling out staight away leaving nothing for passholders. So I won’t be seeing “Bitch Academy”, piss.
Anyrate, I’m in line waiting to see “The Kinda Sutra” and “St. Misbehavin’: Wavy Gravy”
I was telling Kenneth last night how great it is that this years festival isn’t festuin (no spell check on iPhone) with preachy films about the Iraq war or Katrina or W. It’s nice to have space for films about ineresting people and wonderful stories.
Case and point is the film I saw this morning about a film maker in India who makes a Indian Superman. Ruddy brilliant!
Seems the line is moving. Check back later. Cheers.

Full Frame Documentary Film Festival began today! I have been looking forward to this four day peregrination through the real life for a while now, and its FINALLY here!
I set out my outfit last night, cleared out my bag of all unessential festival weight and laid my head down to wake up today. I did just that, then fell back to sleep…then popped out of bed 30 minutes behind schedule!! DAMN IT! I through on a graphic tee and slung my trendy Macbook Pro heavy bag over my shoulder. I pushed my truck Red Thunder to the limit of a shaky 75mph storming towards Durham 45 minutes away.
I got here to find that the parking deck across the street is undergoing some repair and is at half capacity and now FULL! I was able to sweet talk my way in to the Full Frame Volunteer parking and set out to get my pass.
