Well, as always, something happens to the plan and messes up the beginning of the journey to the next Hyatts Film Festival. With all the bad weather, my message didn't get out early enough for students to clear their schedule to come to our first meeting, but that is ok. The first year I had the Film Festival, I had nobody show up.
I am not nervous about this because I printed off 50 copies of the application packet and I would say that more than half of them are already gone. After year one, I always look forward to the journey to see which students come out of this process with a complete film.
Today's meeting was just general stuff. When applications were due, what does the festival look like, and how the whole thing works, including sponsorship opportunities. Then I answered questions. Here were a few:
We also took some time to look at this website, discuss new fundraising through Marcus Cinemas at Crosswoods and what I was allowed to help them with.
I look forward to the next two meetings with students who may be interested in participating in the Hyatts Film Festival. Remember, if you are a student at Hyatts, and you think you may want to participate, come to one of the final two meetings and see what it is all about. That is the only way that you will have a chance to win the iPad Air!

- What is the policy for music? Must use royalty free music or 20 seconds of a copyrighted song.
- How many people can be in a group? 4 people
- What is the prize for Best Picture? an iPad Air, 16 GB for all members of a group, up to 4 members.
