A heartfelt thanks to First Grade Film Festival attendees


I'd like to thank everyone who braved the price of admission, heat lamps and Tuesday morning hangovers to attend the First Grade Film Festival at Foreign Cinema in SF last night. The turnout was exceptional (standing room only), and I appreciate everyone's patience in waiting through the technical difficulties that got the screenings off to a late start (for whoever's curious, a faulty power strip was the culprit).


Thanks for being an incredible crowd with drop-dead good looks, great taste and a magnetic personality. Would you like to go out to dinner this weekend?


While you ponder your plans for this weekend and formulate an excuse for refusing to go out to dinner with me, let me offer you the following list:


First Grade Film Festival Firsts

  • First ever First Grade Film Festival
  • First public screening of Curbed Enthusiasm
  • First time I have ever been asked for an autograph
  • First time a raffle has ever been broken up by the cops
  • First time I have ever drank whiskey without vomiting
  • First time I have seen any movie other than "Goonies"


    Thank you, thank you, thank you all, and please continue to be fantastic. Support filmmakers with no money, crazy ambitions and unique ideas. Better yet, pick up a camera and become one of these filmmakers... it's fun and you will always have a venue to show your work as long as the First Grade Film Festival is around.



    If you have suggestions, questions, comments or cat-calls, feel free to send in your frank feedback about the festival and films -- e-mail klontt@lowbar.com and boy@firstgradefilmfest.com. We'll post your feedback here, on this Web page, accessible via the Internet software on your computer.


    Thanks again and remain awesome, you goddamned geniuses.
