Damah Day 3

Though this post is coming to you a full two weeks after the festival ended, the last day is still fresh in my mind. In fact I think that the most fun and best film from the festival was the last one that I saw. Christopher Brennan Saves the World is a great little teenage comedy where sage advice with soda and ice is the mantra. Christopher Brennan is a high school geek that gives his advice at the drive through of the local burger joint. His 'clients' talk to him through the plastic hamburger that contains the speaker and microphone for ordering their burgers as well has how to get a girl to like you, whether to get married or not, just about everything but math tutoring. The film is fun, and heartwarming and I at least identified with Christopher's geekiness and troubles dealing with his own issues with girls. If you have the chance to see this one at a film festival near you, go see it. It is well worth the price of admission. This was a great way to end the festival, and places it on my list of festivals I HAVE to attend each year. I'd love to share the experience with you so let me know and maybe we'll have to find a way to get a group together for next year. The only bit of advice for the festival organizers I had was to put the film makers information into the program itself (if they wanted it there of course) so that those of us who are fans of their films can contact them and see where they might be playing at next, or whether or not their film is available for purchase. There were several films at the festival that I had to do some rather extensive research on before I found the filmmakers web site. Sadly, Christopher Brennan Saves the World I haven't been able to find yet. Anyway, the festival was in my opinion a great success and worth seeing and sharing with all of you. I will now be stuck reviewing films that have distribution for better or worse. Until next time, which should be in about 20 minutes.....,..
