Welcome to Day 11!

I knew it! We broke records in a big way yesterday! We had three enormous rounds in a row, all of which broke our previous per-round record. The ultimate winner was the 7:00 pm round, with 2,287 (yes, two more than I reported last night) attendees! And the attendee number for the entire day: 8,701 people!!!

Even with the blizzard last weekend, this has turned into our biggest, best, and most amazing Festival ever, and we can't possibly stress enough that it's because of you.

We're now preparing for our noon round, which will kick off at 11:30 with showings of The Orange Chronicles and The Shorts Jury Awards. If you missed The Orange Chronicles last weekend due to the storm, this is a great opportunity to see it... and the Jury Awards are always a fantastic time.

At 11:45, we'll begin screening Ben X, which is enough of an audience favorite that we've put it into two theaters, and Entry Level, which has a Filmmaker Q&A at the end, and which is on Stand-By. (Remember: come early.)

Then we'll finish off the noon round with Teddybear and Thread of Life, both of which are on Stand-By. (Again: come early! :D!)

A lot of things are on Stand-By this afternoon and evening, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get here... Tower City can keep you entertained while you wait between rounds.

Join us for this wonderful, final day in the Festival!

...Wow, I just found something I don't like saying. I don't want this to end.
