CMF

Back in college I competed in a competition called Campus MovieFest. My team’s film ended up being the little film that could, and somehow made it to the 2007 International Grand Finale.

Five years later the International Grand Finale is now CMF Hollywood, and it’s grown from a showcase of the fifteen best films of the year to a full-on convention with panels, workshops, and guest speakers. My co-star informed me that the event was happening this weekend, and that he and I were invited to assist as staff. They still remembered us, and liked us, and wanted us to join the crew. I caught up with a few people I had met in Georgia from when I was student competing in this little contest. And then I was asked to moderate a panel on producing with EVPs from Universal and Green Hat…

Never thought five years ago I’d be in Hollywood on the other side of the table, working with those people. Who knew.
