Dear Editor:
I read your Feb/Mar edition and saw the information about the Sedona International Film Festival, and decided to go up from Phoenix (we were visiting from the Bay Area). What a great little city and event up to our departing today. Next year, we will stay the whole week.
After seeing a movie on preview night Monday, we needed a recommendation for a place to stay, and they recommended the Rouge across the street.
Luckily, they had a room, and that night we met Joey Pantoliano in REDS, the restaurant in the hotel. What a nice guy. His movie was premiering the next day, and we saw it. Excellent. [The movie is Canvas. ;-) -Ed.]
Anyway, so glad we were given a copy of your magazine. Tim Disen

Dear Elliot,
I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet you at the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose last week. Thank you for letting me pick your brain about movies and the magazine during the opening night gala. I poured myself a big cup of coffee first thing Sunday morning and enjoyed reading the mag from cover to cover. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Denise McGillicuddy

To the Editor:
With all the hoopla and press leading up to the Academy Awards, it would seem there is ample information about all the likely award winners. But I am compelled to share with you my appreciation for the fine interviews you presented in your previous issue, the December/January issue, with several of those who, it came to pass a month later, were in the running for the iconic gold statuette. Were you prescient? Your articles gave me an insight and understanding of these people as actors and individuals, and I felt I enjoyed sharing the evening with them all the more. In particular, was I impressed with the human and historical awareness expressed by Forest Whitaker, and very appreciative of the thoughtful questions of your writer (whom I assume was you, although the credit was not clear).
