First film of the day was 'Thriller in Manilla' screening at the Prospect Theater. It was a good doc about the intense rivalry between Mohamed Ali and Joe Fraser told from Fraser's perspective (see review). Sat with Dan Berger, who is in Acquisitions for Osciliscope for the film. He works with our Program Director Matthew Curtis and it was cool to get a buyers perspective of the festival and the films he has seen. On my way to my next film I ran into Jack White, chilling with his friend in a Quizno's parking lot. He's here for the documentary 'It Might Get Loud'. I saw it in Toronto - it is one of the best music docs I have seen and I got to tell him that in person - what a trip. His buddy took a great photo of us. I immediately Twittered and Facebooked the photo and the fact that White was in town and the internet was a buzz. I floated onto my next film, 'Let's Make Money". I didn't see anymore films and spent the rest of the night reading reaction to the Jack White Encounter and working on setting up our Blog (thanks Soup) - hope you all like it.
