Since Wednesday I have had the honour of attending the Thin Line
Film and Music Festival in Denton, Texas.
Although the festival is well-established, the 2014
edition is the first time for music to be programmed along with the documentary
films.
Denton is gorgeous, and the town square, centered around an
historic court house, is lined with beautiful shops and restaurants. Home to two universities, there is a
young, energetic vibe to Denton, which lends itself perfectly to hosting Thin
Line.
Walking around downtown Denton, I visited shops and
restaurants to ask them if I could up posters for tonight’s screening of
‘A2-B-C’ in their windows (screening INFO). Although 'A2-B-C' is far from a "date movie", this screening happens to be falling on Valentine's Day (!).
Having had the experience of less-than-supportive
communities during some other festivals in the past, I was hesitant at first... but every shop, every restaurant I entered graciously allowed me to place
posters in the window and put postcards on their counters. It was clear that the festival has the
full support of the town, and I am so grateful for the welcome I have received.
