Over the weekend, the streets of St. Helena and Yountville felt like Los Angeles—celebrities were everywhere!— as the region celebrated the seventh annual Napa Valley Film Festival. The five day event featured countless screenings, award ceremonies, Q&As, tastings, and dinners. Things got started last week at Meadowood where the competing filmmakers of the Artists-in-Residence Program met with their mentors and faculty members. This is a special group of producers, distributors, and directors including TJ. Martin, Todd Harris, and Mark Borde, who guide the young filmmakers during their time at the festival.
