A HUGE thank you to Michael Smith for his outstanding talk with my Film Festival students at DePaul last night. His discussion about his films proved extremely valuable to my students' work and careers. Thank you Michael!

Looking forward to Michael Smith’s visit to my Film Festivals class in the next hour!

@LeosAMovieGuy Thanks Leo! So glad you and Christina could be there!

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@LeosAMovieGuy Yes!!

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@LeosAMovieGuy Hmm..... Let's hope it's more Midnight in Paris and less Scoop!

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@LeosAMovieGuy Great! Looking forward to seeing it!

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@LeosAMovieGuy That could be it. Something felt off about the plausibility of the whole thing. Been a while since I've seen it though.

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@LeosAMovieGuy I wasn't as wild about it. Gandolfini was great though!

[Dan Pal @djpal1]

@BFI @LeosAMovieGuy Love this! Love him!

Watched two great independent films this weekend from 2013: Computer Chess and Concussion. Both highly recommended!
