Cucalorus

I never been to film festival before until Cacalorus this year. I always love going to movies since I was a little child. I would go to the movies every single weekend. When I went to Cacalorus, it felt like being a child again. I got to see several different films that I never seen before. I got to see a film called Light of the Moon. I like seeing films that have the word "moon" in its title for some reason. I got to see films like Tragedy Girls, My Life as a Zucchini (which is very cute film in my opinion),  and Sun Dogs. It was very cool experience to watch films with people who also love films as much as I do. I didn't get to spend as much time there as I wanted to, but I know that next year is full of possibilities. I cannot wait to go to Cacalorus film festival again.
