MCN @ AFI Dallas Video

How do you keep a film festival the size of AFI Dallas running during tough economic times? I caught up with AFI's Director of Press and Publicity John Wildman and Artistic Director Michael Cain at the fest's closing night party to chat about running the fest on a tight budget, the challenges faced by the programming team (and who wins the fights over what gets in and what doesn't) and why the fest chose this year to close the fest with two films -- Tyson and The Cove.

Note: Some people seem to be having trouble getting the embedded video to play, not sure if it's a YouTube issue or what. It's working for me, but I found the direct URL link to play it a little faster, so you including that for you as well. Please let me know in comments whether you're able to view it ... may have to look at using something besides YouTube in the future.
