Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue

Tonight's screening in Columbus Ohio was really nice!  A small group of people in a chilled, medium sized theater at the Wexner Center came to see the film on this hot Wednesday evening. We also amassed a wonderful group of after screening dinner mates including scholar/writer/film lover/Wexner Asst. Film & Video Curator Chris Stults, the filmmaker/Wexner ArtTech studio editor Mike Olenick and some of the adorable/handsome/hilarious folks behind the local gallery Chop Chop. Also, I had no idea the Wexner Center had such impressive film resources including a residency program that has attracted some serious creative talent. In fact the film wing of the building had an entire wall of poloroids dedicated to those directors who have been lucky enough to make use of the departments vast cinematic resources, including a pic of Jem Cohen who shot some of Gravity- what a small film world! Tomorrow: Columbia, Missouri! Now: zzzZZZzzzz
