day one has concluded of the much anticipated ann arbor film festival. yesterday night the michigan theater was filled with beautiful people, delicious food, and breathtaking films. as the doors opened, the lobby quickly filled and the dj forest of hott lava was at the spin tables; pumping out the beats to get the evening's opening ceremony underway. The plates of hor d'oeuvres where all catered by ann arbor's finest restaurants from the cupcake station to sava's to morgan and york. sam and i mixed and mingle and was later joined by koun. besides stuffing our faces with food, we talked to two of the festival's jurors; bed russell and tomonari nishikawa who were both honored to be the jurors for this years' ann arbor film festival. executive director harrison, who was decked out in a classic calvin klein suit was surrounded by crowds of people, but we manage to sneak a quick interview with him in before the screening began.

as eight o'clock neared, the crowd began making their way to the auditorium and it quickly filled within 10 minutes. the set of 12 short films that were screened ranged from outright bazaar to 11 minutes of beautiful nostalgic stories.

check out www.aafilmfest.org for a list of the 12 film screenings on opening night. in addition check out sheimagazine.com for sam and koun's screening reviews.

what i am anticipating the most is friday's screening of rodrigo blaas's short alma. flying lotus's world premiere sounds cool too.
