Something exceptionnal in the world of festivals happened in Houston Texas where Hunter Todd wrapped his 50th edition of the festival. He is by far the longest running festival Director in the World. (Worth a guiness book entry as well as a few toats of champagne, which we all had with him)
50 years celebrating the best in indie filmmaking descovering screen legends and icon directors such as Lucas Spielberg, Ang Lee and many others. He received vibrant homages and applause and family emotions when his daughter hande him a trophy and the Omega 'MoonWatch' Speedmaster 50th Anniversary Limited Series watch.
Roger Corman could not make it but sent him this very nice video which deeply touched Hunter.
Commodore Todd
Bruno Chatelin in good company!
