The Beantown Bloggery

I had a couple of friends from highschool who were film majors in college.  I was told that I'm more of the 'movie' type, not the 'film' type.  And for the most part, I agree.  I'm more a fan of mainstream blockbusters that just entertain me for a couple of hours.  My life is thought provoking enough as it is. 

Coming this October 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th to the Coolidge Corner Theater, Somerville Theater, and Performing Arts Connection in Sudbury, is the Filmshift Festival. Filmshift is an independent film festival designed not only to entertain, but to spark dialogue about the essential role small businesses and local entrepreneurs play in producing movies and strengthening our nation’s spirit and economy.

Named after “The 10% Shift,” a campaign launched by a group of New England entrepreneurs to encourage consumers to shift 10 percent of their everyday spending to local businesses, Filmshift will showcase more than 20 films including features and shorts from categories such as environmental/local issues, drama, comedy, horror, animated, and documentary. 

I'm exaggerating of course, I have been known to watch the occasional film.  Just recently I rewatched one of my favorite films ... "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle."  =)
