Greetings -
Well, I guess this marks the arrival of Lone Star on the blog scene. Feels pretty good.
First things first. Just want to make sure everyone knows who we are and what we're about. The Lone Star Film Society is a non-profit organization in Fort Worth, TX whose mission is to raise awareness of cinema within the community. In truth, our official mission statement is longer than that, but I think it's best to keep first impressions as simple as possible. Once we get to know each other a little better, if things look like they're working out, maybe we can share some of our loftier aspirations. For now, perhaps it will best serve this introduction to lay claim to the Lone Star International Film Festival, the first edition of which premiered this past November to an very responsive Fort Worth community. Thank you Fort Worth, we're still blushing.
As a new year descends upon us, we're back to grindstone, churning out a year's worth of screenings and events, stepping out about town and getting to know our neighbors on the arts and culture block, and of course, laying the groundwork for Second Annual Lone Star International Film Festival.
We'd like to take this opportunity to just say hello, welcome everyone to our blog, our websites (http://www.lonestarfilmsociety.com/; http://www.lsiff.com/), heck, even our office (817-735-1117) and invite anyone with questions, comments, rants, raves, Valentines, surplus Swiss Bank accounts, whatever, to give us a shout whichever way fits your fancy.
Have a good weekend, hope to hear from you soon.
Alec Jhangiani
Director of Programming and Development
