I'd like to thank anyone who understood my Spongebob references. Warning: More might appear in this post. By the way, Happy 25th Anniversary, Mr. Squarepants.
My name's Dustin. I'm a screenwriter, a freelance video editor, the Director of Web Media Services at the Burbank International Film Festival (submissions open until April 30th! Just saying...), and a Stage 32 Moderator. I enjoy these Introduce Yourself Weekends and hope you take the time to say hi!
I'm currently preparing to travel to the Beverly Hills Film Festival for the first time because one of my screenplays is an official selection! I'm a big fan of film festivals—such positive vibes. Let me know what film festivals you've attended or plan to attend one day! :)
Until then, I'm off to get two ice cream cones and see if that helps... Wait, "This isn't working."

Can't believe Spongebob's 25, Dustin Richardson. I'm sure Nick's gonna do a special or something.

Dustin Richardson hi there, fellow Mod. Congrats on the festival selection. I’ve attended the Berlinale a couple of times with my son. It’s such a great festival. I also attended a local (Bristol) festival called Encounters, for short film many years ago, but Berlin is my favourite.

Congratulations, Dustin Richardson
I wish you an awesome festival experience! For those, who happen to be in the region of Stuttgart, Germany, there is a cool animation film festival from April 23-28 (Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film). They even have outdoor screenings, for those interested in watching movies under the starry night sky. It’s a warm place for meeting fellow animation lovers and it’s family friendly. See you around.

Dustin Richardson it is, Dustin. It has a great city vibe, as well as cool cinemas and the Film and TV museum is well worth a visit.

Nice, Geoff Hall. I love film and TV museums! I went to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures for the first time last year. It was amazing.
