I arrived at Gizzi’s with a sense of excitement and pride. Sunday Night Screenings, my short film festival, was now in the hands of my trusted friend Jonathan Duran. I couldn’t believe that something I had created was now thriving without me. The Bud and Roach Show played a crucial role in promoting the festival, and it was a success. As I walked into the venue, I was met with a familiar atmosphere of filmmakers and cinephiles. Jonathan greeted me with a smile, and I could see the pride in his eyes. The festival had come a long way since its humble beginnings in this small cafe. Now, it was attracting the attention of indie and major production companies and distributors. I sat down to watch the films, and I was blown away by the talent on display. Each short was unique and thought-provoking. As the credits rolled, I felt a sense of satisfaction that I had contributed to the growth of these filmmakers. After the screening, I mingled with the crowd, chatting with aspiring directors and producers. It was surreal to see my vision come to life and to see the impact it had on others. As the night drew to a close, I said goodbye to Jonathan and the other attendees. I walked out of Gizzi’s with a newfound appreciation for the power of collaboration and the importance of promoting the work of others. Sunday Night Screenings had become more than just a film festival. It was a platform for emerging artists to showcase their work, and I was proud to have been a part of it. As I rode the train back home, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the journey that led me to this moment. My ego may have been inflated, but it was a reminder that success can come from supporting others and promoting their talent.
