β’Β The 26th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival was an absolute blast, The 26th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival was once again a whirlwind of screenings, events, and camaraderie. No one does it quite like you. It was a pleasure to moderate @pandrogyneβs S/HE IS STILL HER/E, @_lucykerr_βs FAMILY PORTRAIT, @alfredgiancarliβs WEEKNIGHTS, @kevinschreckproductionsβ ANTARCTIC VOYAGE, and Chris Bellβs FAILED STATE. Iβm very thankful to the audiences who show up and celebrate, to friends new and old, and to the festival staff, programmers, and volunteers who make everyone feel included. Now that Iβm finally recovered I can say βHappy Sidewalk!β Hope to see all of you in 2025.
