Newport Beach Film Festival April 23rd Kick-Off!

It's opening night and people are talking about
numbers like 40 thousand plus....on the 10th Year of
the Newport Beach Film Festival. Even the inimitable
"Mr. G"......the guy that started "The OC" will be
there! Maybe there will be some of the "Real Desperate
Housewives from Orange County" there too! We will just
have to wait and see.

At any rate, probably a good time to try and fight it
out for a parking space at Fashion Island. Ever since
the "Sharper Image" store closed...there were plenty
of empty parking spaces....(Just kidding!) No doubt,
the "Gourmet Hot Dog" man is going to be buried in
customers! Think more Deli Mustard!!

In any event, people from all over the country have
suddenly found the "Newport Beach Film Festival" after
just 10 short years. Hey, "Sundance" took at least that
long to jump start and become unbelievably popular. We
haven't seen those very outrageous "publicity stunts" by
major stars yet...but we know that action is coming soon!

Anna and I covered this event last year......and tried
to get a little different look at Film Festivals in
general...to find out the how's and the whys? You can
go to the Cutting Edge - a talk show website and watch
last year's fun, cost and commercial free: Newport Film
Festival - www.cuttingedge-atalkshow.com

Just go to the Archives and scroll down or you can jump
to the Southern California page and click on the video
box.

In the meantime, enjoy the Festival......and we will see
you opening night - at the movies!
