Off to Lone Pine!

I'm heading out very early Thursday morning to attend the 29th Lone Pine Film Festival!

The festival begins Thursday evening, October 4th, with a buffet followed by a special opening night screening of a new movie, then gets underway in earnest on Friday, October 5th.

This year for the first time we're able to stay for Sunday's events, so I'll be offline until early next week.

Please visit last weekend's preview for an overview of some of this year's guests, movies, and special events.

To follow along as the festival unfolds in real time, please check my Twitter account or search the Twitter hashtag #LonePineFilmFestival.

As always, I'll be sharing complete coverage of the festival after it's over! In the meantime, for anyone new to the festival or my Lone Pine coverage, please visit my posts on the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 festivals for more information.

Additionally, I have a new column at Classic Movie Hub, "Lone Pine Favorites," which provides a short overview of the history of filming in Lone Pine, along with a look at five movies filmed in the area.

Have a wonderful Columbus Day Weekend!
