Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:10:32 -0800 inaugural #napafilm festival wrapped. http://shanaray.posterous.com/inaugural-napafilm-festival-wrapped http://shanaray.posterous.com/inaugural-napafilm-festival-wrapped
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!

The warmest thanks to Jury President John Sloss and all members of the NVFF Juries!
