Hello,
As the founder and original Festival Director at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival (2008) I want to thank all of the Film Makers, everybody who participated, and all who gave their time. When I conceived the idea and wrote the mantra as to why this festival was starting up and what it hoped to do, it was a sincere attempt at connecting to the heart of the film world - the Independent Film Maker.
Best of luck to the new Festival Directors and the 2009 team. I'll be back ;)
