It's closer than two weeks away to my hometown film festival, one of the top 10 destination film festivals in the U.S.! Check out www.waterfrontfilm.org for more information. I always enjoy myself more each year. If you go to Sundance, you'll enjoy seeing a few of your favorites in a town with just as much energy but is more laid back. If you missed Sundance, you'll get a chance to see some of the most popular films that screened there AND with Slamdance film fest.
The best part of the weekend is on opening night, Thursday June 8th where they throw a fabulous street party -rain or shine- and have top national artists sing as well as show a great film at dusk, all free save the beer of course.
If you are from out of town, discovering this little town on the shore of Lake Michigan will be a delight in itself. If you'd like more information on "how to" Waterfront, send me a note.
