Ow.

Cinequest kicked my butt this year. I was dealing with some non-movie-reviewing crap and my head just wasn’t in the game. I still had a great time, though, and am really looking forward to next year. Cinequest 20 should be badass. It sounds like they’re planning something big to celebrate the double-decade anniversary.
Antwon sometimes says that Cinequest is like a NaNoWriMo that only I do, and he’s so right. I just vanish into movies for at least a month — I start watching screeners and writing about them as soon as I can get the PR folks to hand ’em over. It’s so fun, but my God, it’s exhausting.
At least now I can recouperate in preparation for next year.
