Memories

A brief Festival wrap-up meeting as we prepare for the last two weeks for the temporary staff. There was a question about highlights from the 2005 SFIAAFF.

Chi-hui enjoyed the Q&A for The Motel, when the young actor was asked about the masturbation scene and what his mom thought.

I enjoyed the The Year of the Yao Q&A when the question of Yao's opinions about Asian Americans came up and Chris Chen (the lone Asian American producer onstage) was forced to answer the question as the microphone became a hot potato for the non-Asian filmmakers and MC onstage.

There were also stories of great volunteers. Which really was one of the best things about the 2005 Festival.

Now we dig in for two more weeks to thank the people we couldn't accomplish this without.
