Hollywood, like high school, like life has different rules for different people when it so chooses . Some rules are always the same: make friends not enemies, do unto others as you would have others do unto you, etc. Hollywood’s a game…”

A Directors Panel, An Actors Panel, And A Screenwriters Panel At LAFF

This has been quite a full, action-packed event, and perhaps the three most notable descriptors that I can use, off the top of my head, are:

danaparty-1024x615

There is a “Lounge”. It actually is a store that the LA Film Festival took over, for the fest.
There’s a bar, with free drinks.

Here’s some photos that I was unable to put up before…

(Included is a video of him and I, chatting about the potential of a SAG Strike…)

I don’t know what to say about this. I get emotional, I get affected. I am an actor-personality-type, I guess. I feel a bit overwhelmed, about how this is happening, and it’s needlessness. This problem, of the MPTF; and the actors’ struggle…It’s just bad.
