Since I am an avid movie goer, the Cleveland Film Festival is just my cup of tea. I love movies, and these were really unique. I went to see "Rubber" a film about a homicidal tire. Yes, I said tire. I will get into the movie itself in it's own post, but it was definitely surprising. As for the festival itself, being there made me feel like I was in Disney World. There were so many people there that I couldn't really appreciate the atmosphere. A lot of people were standing in line waiting to see their movies. There were carts of merchandise to be bought, and there were refreshment stands all over the place. I had never been to the Tower City Cinemas, and I was extremely surprised to see so many people. We had to park in a completely different lot from the Tower City one, because there were that many cars and people there.
I brought a couple friends with me, and getting there wasn't very hard. I've been to Tower City mall plenty of times in the past few years, and it was a beautiful sunday afternoon to be seeing a movie. I really enjoyed seeing that a lot of the movie goers had been there all day. It surprised me because I thought $12 for a ticket was expensive, but seeing multiple movies would break my bank account. The people in the theater were extremely nice and helpful. It was organized and there wasn't really that long of a wait. I was surprised, but it was really a lot of fun. I would definitely go back, and I think the festival itself really helps Cleveland's economy. When I went to see my movie, the person working it told us that they had over 100,000 people there the day before. That is a lot of people and revenue coming in. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and I would definitely go next year.
