THE GUEST COLUMN – Are Film Festivals the Last Bastion of the Theatrical Experience? From Films Gone Wild

There are many in the industry still clinging onto the theatrical experience, from filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino, to companies like IMAX and Moviepass, but you still can’t really beat the experience of watching a movie, which some people have never even heard of, at a film festival. Hands down some of the best screenings I’ve ever attended have been at film festivals. In some cases, I’ve never had another chance to see those movies with an audience.

10 MOST RECENT FILMS WATCHED: Indie Memphis, NewFilmmakers L.A., a benefit, the theater, VOD, and DVD – movies coming from all over the place from Films Gone Wild

This one includes the last couple of films I caught at Indie Memphis, the L.A. Premiere of QUALITY PROBLEMS at New Filmmakers L.A., a benefit screening of FERRIS BUELLER to benefit my friend, and Dallas’s legendary personality Devin Pike, some eclectic choices on VOD and DVD, the first holiday movie, and the irony of watching Chris Nolan’s totally shot in film DUNKIRK on a plane as I headed home from Los Angeles.
