Hi, CAMrades, I wanted to update briefly the status of last year's festival entrants.
I have an ailing family member in critical condition. I've been AHOD for the last two months with my family, but I have the primary role in their life.
My film work is not being done.
I don't have the emotional bandwidth to return to the entrants and choose the winners, at the moment.
The festival is still open and will be as great as last year. My hope is that my family member levels out soon and I can return my energy to my work.
Tell your loved ones you love them. Call them ASAP. Tell them why you love them. Be there for them, when they're in need. Try to anticipate their needs, when you think they're not asking. Care and compassion rule.
