See Me at the Festival!

I’m pleased to announce that I have been selected to be part of the press corps for the 62nd Chicago International Film Festival. This is the second consecutive year in which I have been approved to cover the event. As in past years, I have an ambitious screening schedule ahead of me, so, if you’re in or will be visiting Chicago October 14-25, look for me at the festival’s primary screening venue, the AMC New City 14 Theaters. Look for my reviews during the event on the Quick Cuts page of my web site, with a full recap after the event. Hope to see you there!
