Updates and pictures from The Indie Gathering Film Festival

I just got back from The Indie Gathering Film Festival last week and I had a blast! The festival takes place in Cleveland, OH over the weekend of Aug 6-8. I met so many great filmmakers, saw a lot of wonderful shorts and had an overall great time at the festival and all of the events they had planned. I really can't say enough good things about this festival or the people who run it,- the IG Family knows how to put on an event!

The screening of Unit 30 couldn't have gone better: we received lots of laughs throughout, had a large crowd and my Q&A lasted so long that I was asked to sit down so they could show the next short!

AWARDS!!!!! Did I get your attention? As most of you know, I attended the festival knowing that Unit 30 won the award of "Best Horror-Comedy for a short film", what I didn't know is that Unit 30 also won the award of "Best Overall short film"!!!!! I'm still in a state of shock :-) Below are some photos I took at the event:
