Well this is a little late but hey, better late than never right?!
So even though WAMM happened a little bit ago I still remember it vividly. It was a very fun experience actually. I wasn't expecting to win anything either, I was happy and surprised about that. I did like all the short films that were shown.
What was very interesting about everything shown is that there wasn't just one sort of short film that was shown. There was a different mix of things from documentaries to cartoons to experimental films. It gave me a great broad spectrum of short films. Each of them were extremely well done as well. I give all the credit in the world to those film makers for making such great short films.
I have never really been to a film festival before so I didn't really know what to really expect. I did like how two of the film makers were in the audience. I don't think I could have been there and screened my own work. Again, much credit due to them. To hear these women talk about the process of what they did and how they came up with what was on the screen was a very unusual concept to me. Usually when I see a film, the film maker isn't there to explain anything. It was very cool to see all the dedication and passion of something first hand.
Even though all of the films were very well done and interesting I think my favorite would have the be the cartoon one where they were playing the game "Bob Hope". Which is pretty much the floor is lava. What I really didn't understand is where that dang chicken came from but it was very well done, very funny and entertaining.
I thought this was a very fun and eye opening experience. I wish I didn't wait this long to have gone to WAMM. And I wish I would have gone to different days and saw the other work and other mediums of work that other people did. There's always next year right?!
