the previous post mentions my excitement from seeing the film "it's winter." specifically, hearing the director, rafi pitts, speak afterwards made it an amazing experience.
that night, sonia and i were walking the streets, checking out film festival stuff when we randomly saw the director walk right past us! i wanted to speak to him and tell him how great it was, but it all happened too fast and he was w/ ppl. darn. well, that was exciting.
the next day (today), sonia and i were walking around downtown as i was on the phone w/ tim. i look up and notice the same director again! he was just talking on his cell by the curb w/ nobody around him. we were gonna go up to him, but he was deep in conversation. we were really excited and i wished i could said something to him. dangit.
later, sonia goes to the grocery store. i'm telling the person on the phone about this and how i missed 2 chances to speak to him. it was at this time that i look up and see the director coming my way for the 3rd time. he turns right in front of me to head into the store. i introduce myself, we shake, talk, and i tell him what i loved about it. he initiates to shake my hand again and looks as if he's about to cry. he tells me how much i made his day and repeatedly thanks me. we each walk away smiling. job done. magnolia-style.
i get back to my car, start to back-up as i notice he's sitting in my back seat! k, just kidding. he wasn't in the car w/ us.
