The
North Texas Film Festival was a blast! When I arrived I was welcomed with a big, warm
greeting by festival director Anthony Guteirrez, who put his heart and soul into this festival.
I saw a ton of great movies, and met many wonderful people. A really cool and unique event took place
right in the middle of the festival. A zombie movie shoot! Real zombies were walking the
streets of the festival (see pics below.) What a hoot! But the very best part for me
was receiving the "Best Director" and "The Spirit of Independence" Awards!!!
