The fact that I could see all these amazing movies and hear the directors and actors talk after was the best part. I loved Peter Jackson’s West of Memphis. The best part was that actor Damien Echols was there too. I also liked The Surrogate, Sleepwalk with Me, Spike Lee’s Red Lights and the Queen of Versailles”.
