Podcast Interview @ The IFFS for "Las Vegas is Talking"....Dec. 5, 2010

I don't give "Interviews" because usually no one asks for one, SO when you do get a request, you just go with the flow.....I can't even remember what I said, I think I talked about shopping, LOL - just kidding, Philip made me look good and did most of the talking for both of us, Thanks Patty for making it look easy....

Hi Everyone, on Dec. 5-7, 2010, The IFFS - Intl Film Festival Summit was held @ The Planet Hollywood. Our Production Company is the Official Company to cover the Conference once again! We partnered with Michael Bass/IFFS from NY for this Wonderful Conference!

This time we also had the honor of being interviewed via Podcast for www.LasVegasisTalking.com, with Patty Fantasia(Filmmaker's NoteBook) & John Donovan (wsRadio).

We found a little bit of time to sit and speak with them for an Interview, unscripted, mind you, I was very tired, and Philip did most of the talking, but I did manage to get a few words in there - E'voila - now some of you can actually hear our voices!

It was a FUN, and of course different for me, and always a pleasure to see Patty Fantasia. Check out her Blog on their link: http://www.filmmakersnotebook.com/ , and check out our "Interview", below Sydney Levine from 20th Century Fox.

www.VegasCineFest.com Winners announced tomorrow!

Wow!!!

What a process it has been! We will be posting the Winners tomorrow on the website!
