I headed out to Spot Coffee<\/a><\/strong> (200 East Ave.<\/a>) this morning to catch the Coffee With …<\/strong> event of The Rochester High Falls International Film Festival (RHFIFF)<\/a><\/strong>. This event is one of the most consistent winners in my book — I enjoy getting to sit down and talk with creative people. It's always semi-controlled chaos as it's never certain who (among the filmmakers) will show up and who (among the festival goers) will show up so it might be just a handful, or it could be hundreds.<\/p>\n

This time it was in-between. The meeting area was the upper balcony at Spot and there were about 40 people there total of which there were (I think) about 8 filmmakers. It was crowded and challenging — but so personal. I got to chat with a bunch of people including Donald Pusateri<\/strong> who was having a ball at the festival as the husband of filmmaker Maria Pusateri<\/a><\/strong> (whom I also met later) — she made Vito After<\/a><\/strong> about her brother-in-law Vito Friscia<\/strong> and his battle with health issues following being a first-responder at the 9\/11 attacks. I also got to meet Alex Miltsch<\/strong>, the president of Rochester Park Studios<\/a><\/strong> (789 Elmgrove Rd.<\/a>) — hopefully they'll do well, even if it's a risky venture.<\/p>\n

And — as certain as I am to run into festival director Catherine Wyler<\/a><\/strong> herself was Jerry Stoeffhaas<\/a><\/strong>, Deputy Director of The New York Governor's Office for Motion Picture and Television Development<\/a><\/strong> and Nora Brown<\/strong>, Assistant Director of The Rochester\/Finger Lakes Film and Video Office<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
