Today is my last day with the Atlanta Film Festival. Leaving breaks my heart but staying would break my spirit.
I met so many great people, saw excellent (and not so excellent) films, drank on the job, contemplated jumping off buildings and running away, grew as a person, reverted to primal and child-like behaviors, fell in love, gave up on humanity, and pushed myself harder than I had ever before. I'm truly grateful for the friends I made, souls I connected with, lessons I learned, and births I witnessed (literally and figuratively). While my time with the Atlanta Film Festival 365 has ended, the relationships I made will continue - that makes me happy.
While this does not even do it justice, below are some of photos of my time there:
