Reel Travels #40: Let's Talk Movies as I Detour to the Woodstock Film Festival

Welcome to Episode 40 of Reel Travels I'm your host, Lisa Iannucci. This episode, I take a detour and head over to Woodstock, New York for the 21st Annual Woodstock Film Festival and, as I’ve said several times before, my favorite film festival. I’ll tell you about the movies I watched and what I thought about them. Let’s get started. 

Film festivals suffered big time this year. The festivals depend on movie tickets being sold and souvenirs being bought and the communities they are located in depend on tourism dollars with hotel stays, restaurant visits and more. If you’re not familiar with film festivals, you should be. It’s a great way to see some of the best movies that don’t always make it to the theaters. Some do, but not all do and there are some talented filmmakers out there. I started thinking about how can I do my part during quarantine to help and I realized there are two areas that fit me well -- movies and books. So my goasl going forward are to bring you more promotion on film festivals as well as to encourage you to support your local independent bookstores, not just to buy my books, but to buy any books. The arts need your help.
