Film Vlog: LA Film Fest '14

LA Film Fest 2014 is finally done and over with! It was nine days of just non-stop parties, screenings, and events! I didn't watch as many films as I intended to and even missed a few screenings on my list but nonetheless, I had an incredible time just soaking in the invigorating energy that emitted from film-lovers and the movies alike. In total, I saw 13 films, which is only half of what I usually see at fests but it's all good because I got to see some of the best documentaries and narratives I would not have been able to see anywhere else! Naturally if I wasn't drowning myself with at least two films a day, I was tangoing the night away, stuffing my face at all the events, or taking thousands of photographs! (I will do anything for free food, ya hear me?!) I hope more people can join me at LA Film Fest next year but till then, watch my video of all the shenanigans that went down!
