This pic entirely sums up the Roanoke Film Festival:  Very nice festival with a bit too much going on at once and not enough maps.  A perfect example of this is the fact that the night CONFINEMENT played there were two other features that I wanted to see at the same time.  I'd recommend not overlapping the features or at least having alternate viewings.

The best part of the fest for me was meeting the other local(ish) filmmakers.  Many cards were swapped and movies exchanged.  I am now a Charles Cullen Fan and hope to work with him in some way down the road.  Be sure to check up on the Appalachian Film festival.
