Triumph67 Receives Its World Premier
By Rick Vaicius
One of the greatest benefits of running Flyway is getting to meet so many great filmmakers, bringing them into our little community, building this awesome collegial atmosphere and then turning them loose with one another. The conversations are outstanding and I love hearing filmmakers exchanging ideas or developing plans to collaborate on future projects…
‘cuz Flyway rolls like that.
My biggest regret of the 2010 festival was the scheduling of the screening of Triumph67 on late Sunday afternoon– Sunday being the day most of the filmmakers in attendance depart, depriving Director Dan Tanz and Cinematographer Jeremy Wilker of much of that peer feedback. I’m sure it would have been interesting to hear… or in my case eavesdrop on.

A big thanks to Phil Holbrook for doing such a great job putting together a great event, and thanks to Julie and Jessica (@Kingisafink) for tolerating yours truly for another weekend of film and carousing.
