I read that Meryl Streep did not so much wish to impersonate Julia Child, but rather portray the image Julie Powell would have had in her head of Julia Child. This subtly worked well, but what else would you expect from Meryl Streep. I realize Amy Adams has held her own with Streep in Doubt, but…

QFest Wrap Up
Well, it looks like my QFest internship has come to an end, although I still need 60 hours to complete my credits. I’ll work that out. I’ve learned a lot from “top” to “bottom” and drank way too much QFest sponsored booze! The Jury Award for First Time Director went to Nancy Kissim, director of Drool, which I had already chosen as my favorite film of the festival.
