    It's a Wrap!

    Inaugural Film Festival deemed "amazing," "outstanding," triumphant"
    and "an unqualified artistic success!"

     
    The first-ever NVFF impressed and wowed over 5,000 film, food, and wine lovers last weekend. Attendees mingled with filmmakers, producers, actors and writers between films and late into the wee hours, with animated conversations fueled along with Napa Valley's finest food and wine. Total attendance at all films, panels, and special events reached 25,000.  
     
    Beyond the studio sneak previews including J.EDGAR, THE DESCENDANTS, BUTTER, and LIKE CRAZY, what impressed so many industry insiders and festival attendees alike was the overall quality of the full film line up (over 100 films total). See it again here!

    I may only be a fake ginger (and even less so because I am more blonde than red) but this cracked me up.

    Hello! My name is Shana Ray, a Digital (Social Media) Marketing Director, working with wineries, restaurants & tech.

    My main website can be found at http://shanaray.com but I use this one as my social media/wine/food/music/llama blog and my way to get out my frustrations with the stuffiness that sometimes comes with wine.

    ...and I have red hair and can usually be heard before I am seen.

    I am a partner at Two Five Media and a Digital Media + PR Manager for Collaborize Classroom http://CollaborizeClassroom.com/blog

    .... yup, llamas.
