WILLIAMEDIA

I basically love all media whether its movies, music, podcasts, pictures, and the occasional book here an there. Its a great time of the year to have that in Dallas considering its the second year for the Dallas AFI International Film Festival. I bought 10 regular screening tickets a week before the festival began and will use my first tickets tonight to see Stop the Presses: The American Newspaper in Peril a film about the American Newspaper crisis which has connections to the explosion of online media that is generally produced cheaper than traditional print and is taking away readers as some articles suggest. I found out about the film while reading the local Dallas Morning News shorthand free paper called the Quick and the corresponding article. Its handed out at the DART stations every morning and thanks to print I learned about a film thats subject is about the demise of said print industry. Later tonight I will write a review about the film after I see it, look for it to be posted on this blog as a separate entry and I will add the link to this entry after its posted. I also have plenty more vouchers which are valid for tickets to any of the other films as well as this one being shown during the entire Film Festivals entire run so everybody is welcome to join me so twitter me or email me at william(at) williamedia(dot)com about a film you want to see and lets go see it together!

UPDATE: Last night was a bust tickets were gone quickly the other two showings will happen during my work schedule so I sad I won’t be able to see the film in particular but I will be attending some other films so continue to look for postings related to those. Also as I said before drop me a line, look at one of the now showing movies and lets talk about it together, lets chat.
