Dad and Me

Taking a bit of a break from the Phoenix Film Festival posts and everything else that has been going on lately. Today it’s been five years since my dad passed away. A while ago (and a different blog ago), I started a series of blog posts called “Heroes In My World”. Now, usually whenever I switch blogs, I’m not very good about even keeping the posts that I’ve made. I’m just lazy that way, and they’re not that important to me (I know, they should be, probably). But I was remembering this series the other day, and wishing I still had some of the posts. To me, they were quite the tribute to the people they were about. So I used the Wayback Machine to see if I could still find any of them. And I did! The first one I did was actually about my dad. So I thought it might be a good idea to repost it here today since I’m remembering him. Here you go.

Well, I said I would be doing more posts about this, and here you go!  This is the official start to a series of posts covering the 2014 Phoenix Film Festival.  All posts will also be cross-posted to rickyleepotts.com, so feel free to go pay him a visit too and see what other kind of stuff he’s got going on over there.

I had the opportunity to interview Jason Carney, Festival Director as well as Executive Director of the Phoenix Film Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the festival.  Here’s what Jason had to say.

Ok, so I realize that I haven’t really blogged too much in a while, and definitely not on a regular basis for a little while. But that is going to change. There are some things in the mix that you’ll soon get to see more of around here.
