The Rotterdam Film Festival was a great success. We were treated like superstars, and I was running around doing photo shoots, interviews, and talk shows. People were projecting onto me as if I was the character in the film, which was an interesting experience. It's a fascinating festival, with many intelligent people, a serious engagment with films, and a great energy. Due to the strong response in Rotterdam, we had interest from festivals in Budapest, Melbourne, Greece, Russia, Italy, Spain, Korea, Japan, and Canada, with some of those festivals locked and others pending. There was also some interest from international sales agents.

See my blog for an overview and photos.
