Last day of judging. I’m not a writer, if I had more time I would have storyboarded the last 3 days.

Not in agreement with all decisions but that is to be expected. These awards are about the craft of film making, and at times I think this gets lost.

I’ve done my best for Australia and NZ, but it’s the league of nations in the room, and there have definitely been some interesting perspectives bought up that have either enlightened or blindsided me.

Looking forward to weekend, I’m going to cram one week of fun into 2 days, Club 55 and Colombe d’Or for starters.
