For those of you who missed the whole Gone Fishing World Premiere at the Rhode Island Film Festival on the blog, here is the whole edited Video Blog, one Webisode after another.

And did we win?

I really appreciate Chris for sharing his experience with his peers. I'm a film maker too and I regret not video taping the Events that are associated with Winning a festival (I also won). But I was able to relive my experience thru your video blog. Thanks Chris....Marcus Aurelius

First of all congratulations to Chris. I entered living spirit to just spend 2 to 3 minutes. Believe me, could not stop - kept on viewing the shoot. The journey chris took through was quite interesting. We have just completed a movie and submitting our entry for the festivals. Good lesson to all of us to have a complete record like this-Whether you win it or not! Ashok Suvarna

You were once a little upset with me Chris, when I suggested it was time Chris Jones author put down his pen to pick up a camera once again. Maybe now you can see why!
Well done, Chris and well deserved. Take it all the way.
Yours Aye
