I was sad that I couldn't see all of the films. However, all the ones that I was fortunate enough to catch have all touched me in some way, whether it's through the clever writing, the cinematography, or simply through the messages that these films conveyed. I am a complete sucker for documentaries so out of all of the films, I have especially enjoyed all of the documentaries.

Ah, good times. Look for a film festival coming near you (Philly in the house? Hawaii?) if you haven't seen any of these films yet, or better, pick up the DVD as some of them will be distributed!
