WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well. For those of you who sat by your computer all day Thursday waiting for this issue of The Weekly Forwardian Gazette to arrive in your email inbox, we apologize for the delay. For those of you who didn’t, well, we’d be here earlier but we’re a tad late. We also didn’t do all that much this week as there were snows in the Northeast section of PA where we reside that led to a number of cancellations along with moods that didn’t inspire much exploring. But, as the weather begins to progressively become more conducive to a desire to get out among the arts, we’ll be there; full throttle. In the meantime, we’re continuing to receive a nice number of original films for us to consider for inclusion in The 2019 Forwardian Film Festival. The excellent quality of the work continues to make it difficult to determine which films will be selected for the event. We’ll receiving original cinematic works until June 1st and we invite you to join our selection group in order to held pick the films that will be in this year’s festival and share in their joys of discovering the qualities of the outstanding work we have and will receive. All you need to do is respond to this issue of The Weekly Forwardian Gazette with the words Film Festival Selector in the Subject line and we’ll include you on the list of those who have access to the films we receive and you’ll have the ability to rate them. We hope you’ll join us in our enjoyable endeavors as we value your insights highly. Let’s Art. Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy. I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.
