My guess is that the programmers want to have a full-blown multi-day festival but PEI doesn't really have the content/talent base to justify a full-blown multi-day festival.<br>I think the next step PEIsland film-makers need is to be subjected to constructive commentary and criticism.

I think the comments made are entirely fair considering these videos were part of the festival program, though I'm not sure why the programmers felt these pieces should be included and presented as though they were films; they were not. Perhaps we need both film commentary and festival criticism to keep things improving? Either way, I like this thread/idea a lot!!<br>Jasarsenaulthttp://profile.typepad.com/jasarsenaultnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5709531.post-14310585475803456052011-06-02T12:01:35.000-03:002011-06-02T12:01:35.000-03:00I like this Rob.

If I could paint in broad stokes for a moment, I feel like a lot of the time the writing is an after-thought on many local productions.<br>Matt Bownesshttp://profile.typepad.com/bownessnoreply@blogger.com
