Cucalorus

My Cucalorus did not go as planned what so ever. I was not able to go to any of the screenings at all. The past 2 weeks for me has been very tough, to say the least. I am dealing with financial issues at the moment. I did not have the money to afford to get the pass. I recently got my car towed and that took all of the money I had saved for Cucalorus. 125$ gone just like that. I had to make the decision to take care of other expenses. I was hoping that I could make back the money with tips at work this past weekend, but I did not meet the number I needed. I think the hardest thing for me was not even seeing my film at Jenga's Playhouse. I thought it was a free installation but I still had to pay. I just didn't have the money to do it. That made me the angriest honestly. Kyle was super awesome for trying to getting me an extra ticket to a screening. I could not attend due to the fact I had to work which sucked. My job over scheduled me due to the fact Cucalorus was taking place. I work downtown at Kilwins.  I will say I am very proud of my friend Chloe for having her short accepted inside the festival. I was super proud of her. I was able to talk to her before the screening of her film. I am for sure next year am going to volunteer to make sure I can make sure to see some films and interact with more people. I was able to talk to people at my job about the festival. I did get a small interaction with some cinephiles.
