4 Quotes by Meg Hamel

Many people who have a lifelong interest in cinema can trace it back to a special film that they saw in their teens. It's exciting to think that there are students in the World Cinema Day audience who will have that experience at the Wisconsin Film Festival.

There's no rule that just because you go to the buffet you have to eat yourself sick. If there's one film that appeals to you, that's fine. Try something different. See what it's like. I think people will be amazed at the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of everyone at the festival and they'll come back for more.

It's the only Wisconsin feature film selected by the Wisconsin's Own jury this year. We're expecting a huge turnout for it, because we expect everyone from Stevens Point to come down. And the weekend after the festival is this year's trivia contest, so the timing worked out well.

It's not always easy to predict what the popular films are. For me, every movie is a big event. It's like they're all my children.
