Our Reel Hero
This week I attended the XicanIndie Film Festival presented by
El Centro Su Teatro.
Director/Writer
Jesus Salvador Trevino was given a Festival Award for his work on the cable series
Resurrection Boulevard. Trevino is from the East L.A. barrio and credits science fiction for saving him from a life of crime and poverty. No surprise that his resume includes
Babylon Five and
Star Trek, Deep Space Nine.
Next week I'll be at the 2007
StarFest/HorrorFest. The woman to my right is not a movie star but
Carrie Vaughn, author of the bestselling
Kitty Takes a Holiday.
Last week I was a guest columnist for the award-winning
LaBloga.
This week's Read of the Week is
Jodi Picoult's mesmerising
Nineteen Minutes.
Finally, so long,
Kurt Vonnegut. We'll miss you.
