I have many things to announce. I went to Riverrun Internation Film Festival. It was awesome. I saw 8 things. Three documentaries: Miss Representation (Jennifer Siebel Newsom), The Wonder Year (Kenneth Price), We Were Here (David Weissman and Bill Weber). Four Narrative Films: Rubber(Quentin Dupieux), A Beginner's Guide To Endings (Jonathan Sobol), I Will Follow (Ava DuVernay) and To.Get.Her (Erica Dunton ). And then they had a documentary shorts segment that I watched which I think contained about six or seven short films (I can't remember). Last week (and last weekend was crazy. But I say all of this to say that I will be posting reviews later.
And I met directors. I can finally say "Oh I know that guy/lady we go way back." Even though we don't go way back. Asked an exaggerated amount of questions and became a huge fan girl. I wonder if directors (esp Indie directors should wear a t-shirt that answers the question. "Do you have any suggestions for a young director?" I'm sure they get tired of that question.
Also I'm pleased to announce that now this blog has a sister. I have created a tumblr version of this blog. One so people can finally see it, two because tumblr allows for reblogging. BUT DON'T WORRY. I love blogger. And I'm sure that blogger will definitely outlive tumblr. Also this blog will get all of my rants/misspellings tumblr will only have short snippets/tiny versions of my review/rants/ideas.
Also I have a twitter. Follow me.
So as soon as this semester ends. I will be posting a lot.

-Films on AIDS
---Why I love Angels in America on screen and in play form
-Rape as a current topic on television and why many directors suck at how to depict it.

-MORE Black stereotypes in American Cinema (I like how the word "cinema" makes me sound smart)
-film classes I want to take
-Anna from Feminist Frequency's current videos about Female Tropes.
