For opening week-end, there were three separate sessions of multiple films, and none were shown twice, so if you had the time (the money was negligible,) you could see all them all.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I\u2019m the one in the last row with the (knock on wood) shiny hair and big black ring. Doesn\u2019t it look like I\u2019m patting that\u2019s guy\u2019s bald head? Photo by Barry Michlin. <\/p><\/div>\n
The audience was interesting, as well. I was excited to see L.A. dance legend, and sometime So You Think You Can Dance<\/em> judge, Toni Basil, a couple of rows in front of me. We talked a bit at the post-reception, and she is as down to earth as I thought from watching her honest appraisals of the dancers on that Fox show. (And she would know–in addition to all her choreography and directing gigs, she was an original member of the Locker Dancers! And the only girl in the group, too.)<\/p>\n In her pre-screening audience-welcome address , DCW founder, Lynette Kessler, pointed-out the filmmakers who were present, of whom I took note, and when the program was over, and I saw the name of the director of the final film that evening, (and my absolute favorite one,) Mitchell Rose, I realized that he was sitting behind me! In my efforts to congratulate him on Advance<\/em>, I totally forgot to ask him the questions I had while watching his two person, fifty locations, dance number! There was so much I wanted answered. (The work wasn\u2019t confusing–I just wanted all the production deets because everything about it was so interesting.)<\/p>\n
