Reel Quick

So it’s a task, but not such a daunting one.

Thus far at the Litchfield Hills Film Festival in New Milford I’ve seen one feature film, Thursday’s opener “Ninja Zombies,” and on Friday a block of shorts.

At the concurrent Connecticut Film Festival in Danbury I watched Friday night’s illuminating and musically superb feature documentary, “Patti Smith: Dream of Life.” Today attended two professionally-taught workshops, the first on acting and the second on screenwriting.

Back up in New Milford, I’m going to check out the second walking dead-themed picture - yes, zombies are so hot right now this one event has two related movies - “Director’s Cut.”

After that, I’ll soon you let you know. Thus far I’ve found that the biggest impediment between attending both events isn’t conflicting movie schedules or the 30-minute commute time between these two two-towns-away towns, but the nearly $4-per-gallon gas prices.
