As I write this, it\u2019s the day after Awesome Con\u2026 and I\u2019m exhausted from all the AWESOME events that happened at Awesome Con! Before the show started, it was exciting to read the\u00a0press coverage<\/b>.\u00a0The Washington Post<\/a>\u00a0gave a shoutout to my kids workshop and Joe got mentioned in a\u00a0WTOP<\/a>\u00a0article.<\/p>\n

This year Joe Carabeo (Astray Productions) and Becky Mezzanotte-Blizard (Programming Manager) presented the Awesome Con Short Film Fest<\/b> on all three days, expanding it one extra day compared to the previous year. They divided each day based on genres — Friday was Horror, Action, Sci-Fi — Saturday was Drama, Comedy — and Sunday was Documentary and More. Both Friday and Saturday crowds were filled to capacity in seats, then became standing room only with people standing around the walls. From what I\u2019m hearing, feedback was excellent and people are already talking about next year.<\/p>\n
