Beverly Hills Film Festival

Well we are back from the Beverly Hills Film Festival and it was an amazing experience. We were in the heart of Beverly Hills - Rodeo Drive and all its trappings. Nino Simone who runs the festival was amazingly gracious and kind to us - and I am really happy we went. The selection committee at Beverly Hills was able to put a program together unlike any other festival we have been to. Not one movie at Beverly Hills had I seen at the other festivals and these were really great films.

The locale was special and there was an after party each evening which was a treat to experience. As with most festivals I met a whole host of other filmmakers and initiated realtionships that I hope last a lifetime. If you ever have the chance to experience the Beverly Hills Film Festival I would recommend it enthusiastically. I'm not going to go into much detail because you can pull it out of the attached video.

I want to thank all the folks at Beverly Hills for making our stay there so pleasant - and the closing ceremonies at the Beverly Hills Hotel was quite special to me - as it was the first time I had ever been there and this was also Delta Rising's first California screening.
