Yeah, I was at the NC Film Festival and the winner of best feature went to a
film called -Follow the Bitch-. No, I'm not kidding. When I heard the title
I was praying it was a cutesy play on words or some kind of striking irony.
But alas, my worst fears became a reality. It was fucking terrible. So
trite-so many cliches-and so FAUX (that's my first faux in this newsgroup)
pro-woman. Such an injustice to ACTUAL NC filmmakers who had submitted their
work. When asked by a reporter from the Spectator what association the
filmmaker had to NC, he replied that he'd visited here once.
