Viewing Notes

Because the timing worked out (and I genuinely wanted to watch this again) I caught YAGON on its encore screening Sunday at G-Fest. This was cool b/c I had an extensive convo with Avery the night before (see the previous entry on all that). This was a really fun viewing b/c the crowd was into it and laughing and enjoying the movie.

I just love what lack of budget can force a person to do to complete a film. I’m in awe of this and look forward to her next film (she’s already working on ideas and designs). Check my previous log of this movie for more info.
