One star is being generous. THIS WAS TRULY DISAPPOINTING!!! Considering how well this was organized in the past when it was FREE, having to pay $60 for two of us to attend was ridiculous. Specifically the problems were (1) having to wait 10+ minutes at will call just to get our tix that we had already paid for (2) having to wait 15 min. in line for food and (3) there was no food only bread when we finally got there. (4) there was no time to really mingle you basically were waiting in line the entire time. Consider having staff bring food into lobby area on trays. This was done in the past and seemed to keep things flowing. Also make better use of the upstairs area. The film festival is a great event. I hope to see improvements next year when we return. Thanks
