The Little Festival That Could

Did you know that the Santa Barbara International Film Festival was going on? If it wasn't for the daily influx of "Movie News" that I receive, since starting to maintain The Last Reel, I may have missed it. It's not being covered in the media, in the same way that other film fests are.

In an article that saw print in yesterday's Variety, Robert Koehler, describes the scene as a "relaxed, Mediterranean-style affair -- a welcome getaway once the snow shoes are put away post-Park City {Utah}" (the locale for the recently ended, more high profile, Sundance Film Festival) .

If something interesting comes out of this event--I will be sure to comment on it here--or at least offer a summary of the fest sometime after it concludes on Sunday February 12th.
