I Love the Film Festival Experience.
       Twenty years of podcasting. Unbelievable. When I started, no one even knew what podcasting was. What’s a podcast? How do you find it? This road took many twists and turns from my start as Managing Editor for Film Festival Reporter into the centric and peripheral forces of independent and art house film, filmmakers from all over the world, music in film, new technology changing the way we make and watch the stories and film festivals that become an integral part of local, national and international economics.
       As I look back on where I’ve been and what I’ve done, I am focused and heading to 2026. Thousands of film festivals, film forums, retrospectives, from theater, IMAX to mobile, Sundance Film Festival’s last hurrah in Park City as they ready to make the move to Boulder, Colorado. 
       Now, more than ever, there is a need to stay in step with what seems to be an overwhelming manic pace. Despite taking a break now and then, reassessing the roads converging and mapping a way to make it through this marathon, I’m in it for the long haul and the start of another decade.
