I'm volunteering with the box office team at the Full Frame Festival this week. Last night was my first shift, which was crazy busy. Or so I thought. The first passholder I witnessed at the box office was a North-Eastern woman, irate because she couldn't get into the opening night show. Understandable. At $200 for a standar Festival Pass I suppose it would be upsetting to find yourself stuck in the 'last minute line', watching those rabble-ish general public getting into the movie ahead of you with a mere $10. There were a number of ugly arguments throughout the night about that issue. All about Kings of Pastry. I hope it wins something, I'd like to see it too.

• Photograph of Jesus
• The Poodle Trainer (I was hoping), but no...youtube is still fun.

Last night I saw The Thorn in the Heart. Its a sweet peice that takes a retrospective look with a woman who ran little schools in villages of France (I think? subtitles, yes, and flowery language). Every now and then I wondered, am I getting bored? And then she'd say something too funny, too cute, and mixed chuckling floated out of the audience.

Today? Live Girls UNITE for sure, and maybe The Chairmaker
