YOUR Tour of All Access Passes! Day 2

Are you a fan of horror movies? 🎥 😱
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at a really cool Film Festival I was invited to in New York.

A friend of mine had been nominated for a screenplay he'd written, and along with his nomination had received two of the All Access passes in the photo above.

He asked if I would attend along with the other people going with him - of course my answer was yes:

I LOVE horror films, and Dean said the second VIP pass was mine if I could make it.

Fast forward 2 months later, and my flight touched down in New York so I could cheer him on for his Golden Laurels nomination!

An absolutely amazing guy, Dean writes music, screenplays, and television series (American Desi, a show distributed in Canada 🇨🇦, is among his achievements as a writer, actor, and producer).

We came to the Horror Filmfest to receive his nomination for "Best Unproduced Screenplay."

There's the handsome wunderkind, dancing and texting before going out for the day:

A super cool, antique popcorn machine 🍿:

Arriving a bit early, we met the festival organizers and got to know them before the event opening.

After chatting a bit, they invited me to check out the projection room:

Really cool, behind the scenes stuff is always such a treat to check out!

Following the screening of each horror film (most of them were fantastic shorts), there was a Q&A session with the actors and producers on stage.

Once concluded, the awards presentations began.

Dean's name was among those identified for nominees in his division...

And he WON!

There's Dean being interviewed for TV and radio on the red carpet:

After Dean's dialogue with the press, other nomination winners, producers, and actors were interviewed, including the female leads from each of the movies:

I recognized one, from a film I had really enjoyed: "Into the Outbreak"

A fantastic time all around, I am so humbled and grateful to have such amazing people in my life who invite me along on these really unique and incredible adventures!

Great times, especially at the afterparty!

Have an outstanding weekend Steemit!!!
