Movie Monday News for Caminoheads!
Okay folks, lots of news today. First of all, thank you not only to all the folks who came out to the LA screenings but to Phil and Rebecca for coming down and being present for so many of them! Having them there made the screenings even more special, and I never cease to be amazed at how lucky I am to hang out with such wonderful people. Of course, that includes Carol, Esther, Maggie & Bill, Denise, Doug, Nadine, Ann-Marie, Nanciann, Bill, and all other members of Team Phil’s Camino as well as all the wonderful folks who showed up!

It is time to get serious about who wants to stay with us at the Ft. Worden barracks/retreat center while we are at Port Townsend Film Festival. There is a flat fee of $125 for the entire weekend, not per night, and if you are interested, you must let us know ASAP. I did a rough count and there are only 6 rooms remaining. Each room has a twin bed only, and I believe it is dormitory like conditions, ie. shared bathroom. There is also a restaurant on the site, which is about 3 miles from the center of town. There will be a lot of Team Phil’s Camino staying there so it will be fun! I hear that there are lovely walking trails, and that it is a beautiful place.

The film festival is one of the best around, so we are happy that so many of our team members will be coming to this one: meet Executive Producers Doug Blush, Maggie and Bill Lynch and CO Producer Denise Williamson, as well as Carol Sorvig and Esther Hobbs. Here is some info about the film festival: Port Townsend, 60 miles north of Seattle, is a favorite resort destination town. We’re a well educated, articulate bunch and we’ve loved and supported independent film here for 16 years.

We’re at the end of a stunning little peninsula that juts into Puget Sound, adjacent to Olympic National Park and we’re surrounded by some of the highest mountain peaks in the United States. Our three-day Film Festival is in the completely walkable National Historic District on the waterfront.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it!!!??!

OK, I am off to Rhode Island for the Rhode Island Film Festival. PHIL’S CAMINO screens on Thursday at 2:45. Drop by and catch the film and Q&A if you are in the area!

Love love love-
