Forget it.

Camille,

Forget it. I'd like to withdraw from the festival. Please don't show my film.

You're ridiculous. The more I think about the kind of place I want to live in versus what your thinking makes the place I do live in, the more i realise i cant put up wit fuckery like this.

There's no film festival anywhere in the world that accepts someone's work, then calls to apologise that they can't show it or ask them to change the music based on how 'jarring' it is or ANYTHING of that nature.

That's ass fuckin backwards.

Its 'lets pretend we have a film festival'.

Its 'lets show nice things that everyone agrees with'.

Who decided this should be in your show in the first place if you find it too 'jarring' for your 'aged 4-65 audience' and your 'people on the level of academy award winners' anyway??

Forget it.

I guess you can't show a 'jarring' film at animae caribe, even if the point of your film for it to be jarring.

No wonder the fucking thing produces such shining stars every year.

Fuckin joke.

Do Better,

-Rodell Warner
