L.A. Day 10 - Film Festival Closing Ceremonies

May 11th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Today was the final day of the L.A. Film Fest with the awards ceremonies and closing night celebration taking place. So, we drove 5 hours from the Bay Area back to L.A. just in time to get ready for the event. We were able to spread the word about Guam by talking with John Manal Castro, co-writer of the film “The Debut” (which I saw while it was making its rounds in Guam in the early 2000’s). John also lived on Guam for about three months and has some relatives on island, so we had lots to talk about.

He introduced us to Winston, who I believe is a publicist and works with HBO. Surprisingly, Winston had some knowledge about Guam as he was asking us about Eddie Baza Calvo and Fokai. Crazy. We had a fantastic time at the festival thanks to Abe Ferrer, Anderson Le, Chris in Marketing and Jeff! These folks were really cool and very down-to-earth, which is rare here in L.A.

Oh - and the Grand Jury Award? You’ll have to watch and see.
