Hello Film Lovers, Talk movie to me! We are excited to let you know that we have had our "coming out party" for festival donors this week. It was a lovely movie-themed event held at Board President, Rick Foster's private home in Edgewater. Over 150 of Annapolis' "Who's Who" list was in attendance. Food was provided by Palate Pleasers, wine by Mills Liquors, costumes courtesy of the Bay Theatre Company and the Candy Girls makeup and hair was done by Morgan Gerard Salon and Spa. We are official with dates on the 2013 calendar for March 21-24th. In addition, thanks to the efforts of Herrmann Advertising, we have now launched our official festival website found at www.annapolisfilmfestival.net. Check it out! There is a new film festival trailer available for viewing on the home page. We will keep you posted as more exciting events unfold! Lee Anderson, co-founder
