Cucalorus Expectations

So Cucalorus starts Wednesday and I’m not so sure I’ve prepared myself.  The festival crept up on me pretty fast but that’s okay, it gives me a good reason to get away from all the school madness!  I’m very excited and a bit anxious for Cucalorus but I’m pretty sure it’s a good anxious.  I bought the “Peg pass” which gets me into all the events so I am hoping to attend as many blocks as possible and see as many films as possible.  I also am hoping to meet a lot of people with common goals and exchange information.  Although I do not know the chances of this happening, I am also hoping to meet Wilmington locals in the film community that I can reach out to because I would like to get more involved within the community.  By meeting local film lovers, I am hoping to be more aware of what is happing in my own town within the film community that way I can better see where I will fit best. 

When I arrive, the first thing I am going to do is find a map that explains where everything is that way I know where my exits are, because safety first. I also need to get online and find out which films I for-sure want to see if any, otherwise I will just kind of wonder around from block to block and soak it all in.  I will probably go to the opening night party, and on Thursday I think I want to go see Mr. Roosevelt at CFCC.  Friday will maybe be Bourgie Nights, Saturday and Sunday will be as much as I can get in. My plan is very flexible.
