San Antonio Independent Film Festival Photos!
Fri Feb 06, 09 12:38 am
The second week in January was an awesome week. It held the San Antonio Independent Film Festival! I'd been looking forward to this trip for various reasons: getting to see old friends and make new ones, getting to FLY again!!, WARM WEATHER!!!, seeing cool films, and enjoying the atmosphere of the beautiful River Walk.
My brother Nathan flew in to San Antonio on the previous Monday, to attend the Film Academy....where they learned about...
...cameras....
....vision...
...and how to do your own stunts. 
Of course, Nathan kept the Facebook world up-to-date on all the things that were going on.
Thursday arrived...
and so did the Film Festival! Hans and I flew in this day (having to get up at 3 in the morning to do so -yawn-).
That afternoon members of Christian Filmmakers met at the park and had a pizza picnic. I was not a member, but snuck in anyways.
?, Heather and Monica Tull.
Stephen Nasby (who came all the way from the North Pole..err...Canada , Tera D., Danielle M., Sage D., Mandy M., and not sure who the last person is.
Friday was spent watching films, talking and eating.
Stephen Kendrick, the producer (or director or writer or whatever it was ) of Fireproof, here with his little boy.
Doug Phillips, the originator of the SAICFF, with two of his sons.
Gator More, the little star of the winning film "The Widow's Might".
Hans, depicting "bird in flight".
In the evening, we were able to enjoy a short concert by the Von Trapps, the great grandchildren of Maria Von Trapp.
And Kirk Cameron told the story of how it was his real wife that he kissed in "Fireproof". Awwwww.
Saturday was spent in much the same way as Friday, with the awards ceremony in the evening.
Nathan doing what he loves best, networking.
Me and the twins! Love these girls!
The entire Duggar family made an appearance at the awards ceremony. Wow.
Some of the cast and crew of "The Widow's Might", which won the $101,100 grand prize. It was an excellently made film, and beat Fireproof, which got second place.
All in all, this was a fantastic trip which exceeded my expectations, and if I weren't making this blog entry so late at night, I'd probably sound more enthusiastic about it.

...but the look on your face is what makes it worth seeing...can I get a repeat performance of that next time I see you??
I don't feel that tall when I'm with you.
