in the theatre
Posted by: Matt McCormick | From: April 25, 2007
it's opening night and i am sitting in the back row and pleased to find the hollywood has wi-fi. we introduced the show and i officially "passed the torch" on to Gretchen Hogue as the new festival director. I still have plenty to do, but this year's festival is truly a result of her hard work and dedication. I have taken on the role of 'executive director' and my biggest task has been organizing "team building" activities for the festival staff. over the past few months we went bowling, ate fondue, sang karaoke, and did plenty of bar hoping. the team seemed to gel, and so far the festival is off to a smooth start, so i think it worked.
it's also pretty interesting, exciting, and nerve-racking to see something that i started get taken over by new people. maybe it's like a parent watching their first child learn to walk: you are so proud of them, but you freak out when you realize you just don't know exactly where they will walk to. but so far it looks like the festival is going to do just fine, if not vastly improve!
okay, things are starting to wrap up. next stop audio cinema!
