Before shooting the festival’s Cinema Tropicale event at the brand new Sarasota Yacht Club (photos to come), I photographed the Hoola Monsters performing outside the movie theater just prior to the screening of the film The Hooping Life (which I now really want to see). These hoopers are incredibly talented and were so much fun to watch (also had an amazing performance at Cinema Tropicale). Here are some shots of the mini-event:

Although I missed opening night and Kevin Kline’s appearances, I’m photographing the Sarasota Film Festival this week (starting just after landing from Israel Saturday). Sunday’s In Conversation With… series featured producer Don Hahn (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast). His documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty is in the festival and takes a look behind the scenes of Disney during their somewhat tumultuous ’70s and ’80s, when the studio was undergoing a rebuild process.
Don is well-spoken, personable, and brilliant… Both J and I were inspired by his words – encouraged to work hard at what we love to do and not only accept self-doubt and failure but to embrace and be better from them.
Anyway, here are some shots:
