Pictured are Hwy. 101 heading south about 30 minutes outside of Santa Barbara. Lots of good breaks and surfers along this area. The wind mills are near Palm Springs, I think this was the area featured in a scene from the movie "Rain Man" and other films.

Greg left SB on Sunday morning so he wouldn't have to pull the RV through Monday morning traffic. Patty & Samantha headed back to Houston. Dave & I packed up and then headed to the closing award ceremonies and screening of the movie "Thank you for smoking" directed by Jason Reitman. (Ivan Reitman's son). Then movie is great, you should see it when it hits the theaters. We then went to the closing festival party where everyone had a good time, especially the festival staff. They could finally let their hair down after two weeks of hard work.

The festival was great, we got lots of press and learned a lot. We're in Phoenix today and then off to RTR tomorrow.

ITW has been accepted to Houston's worldfest film festival in April and we have been awarded a Remi award. We are now an award winning feature film!

The ITW trailer will be posted soon on the worldfest site with a counter on how many times it has been viewed and a place for you to rate it.

We are also talking to The Jackson Hole Film Festival & Mountainfilm in Telluride.

Stay Tuned...
