Festivals Of Their Own response

I LOVE the author's writing style. When I first opened the document, all I could think was "oh no. This looks dense," but instead it was funny and very informational - I had no idea Sundance was in Utah. I think the article really reiterates what was said in the first class, that one of the greatest things Visions does for filmmakers isn't giving them a million dollar check or gift card to Dave & Busters, but a sense of confidence, a desire to keep creating. I am very disappointed in the direction film festivals have gone, choosing to display the high end films as opposed to their Indie roots, but that just makes Visions that much more important of an event.

P.S.  why isn't Visions on the list of festivals, but Chapel Hill made it!?!?!
