If you are a film lover, the place to be from July 27th through August 1st is Traverse City, Michigan, for the 6th Annual Traverse City Film Festival (the brainchild of Michael Moore, President and Founder)! Many of the movies are already sold out, but I’ve heard there are a few tickets still available for some of the shows, and, there is always the “open space” where you can catch a free movie (under the stars) every evening at dusk. If you are unable to attend, but still want to follow the action, check out the Twitter stream at #tcff.
My first ticketed show isn’t until Wednesday, but I’m planning on visiting the open space tonight (opening night) to catch “Twister” starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. I find it a bit ironic that I’ve left tornado alley (Oklahoma) only to find myself watching a movie about tornadoes and storm chasers. Oh well, c’est la vie! Let the movies begin!
