Scott Trampus:

Thanks so much for all your blogs. I really enjoyed reading all of them and I felt like I was right there in the midst of all that excitement, even though I could only be there 12 hours in person that one Saturday. It is exciting when Cleveland puts on a wonderful event like the film fest. I hope it gets national notoriety someday, and I believe it will, especially when filmmakers go back and spread the word of their experiences in our town with you and the great staff and the throngs of patrons. thanks again.

Thank you to everyone at the fest. I had a great time and was so happy for the positive response to my short film, SPEECHLESS. I met some wonderful folks and I'm honored to have received a nod for runner up to audience choice for best short.

For those who missed it, it's posted for FREE at Charityfilms.com

Can't wait for the next time but I'm definitely bringing my hand held GPS system. Love the Cleveland folks, hate the freeway system. If it weren't for Emily I think I'd still be driving out somewhere on the 422 w or was it the 271 n, or maybe the 71 s, or was that actually the 480 north by northwest...?

Love and blessings to all!
