Film Festivals


I'm so happy that Wilmington has started up the Dirt Poor Film Festival. It was so much fun when I went last time. It was just neat to get a lot of film students together to enjoy cinema together. It is always enjoyable to grab a drink with friends and share things together. Dirt poor is able to do this at such a reasonable price. It is also very smart that they have it once a month so that it isn’t too much but still a good amount. Hope that makes sense!

I would really like to see more foreign films brought to local festivals. I'm from Cary and there is a smaller movie theater called the Galaxy theater. http://www.mygalaxycinema.com/ It is so much fun to go to this theater. Most of the films are either foreign or independent films. I love going to this theater because you're able to get a glass of wine and beer at a reasonable price. There was a big dispute that occurred last month. There was a feud over having a Harris Teeter getting built and taking down the theater. Thankfully the theater was able to win it over. It is such a shame that huge corporations even attempt to remove small businesses like that.
