The High Output Party

Maybe there is more vitality in the Boston film community than I thought. Three days after the truly fun and mostly successful Imagine party, came the High Output party in Canton. True,there were more people. But that may have been in part that there was free admission, an open beer and wine bar, lots of food and a band, whereas the Imagine party cost more. But at this event which Jim Hirsch does mostly annually as a thank you to his customers throughout the year, there was a gathering of different people from the film community. Both Imagine and High Output's parties were for the industry, but High Output had more people who are actually making their living in the industry. And, I saw only three other people who were at the Imagine party.

Moody Street was represented with THE LEGEND OF LUCY KEYES crowd (John Stimson and Mark Donadio_. Picture Park, Geoff Briggs, cinematographerEd S;attery, photographer Jean Hangarter, Federico Muchnik, sound people, gaffers, and very few actors, who were in abundance at the Imagine party

Perhaps Imagine and High Output should someday joun forces, since both of them attract industry people, with very little overlap. Yet, with people like Lucia Sma;;, Austin DeBesche, Robb Moss, Alice Stone, Mark Hankey, Michael Williams, Eron Lobel, Sam Kauffman, Maureen Foley, Margaret Lazarus and the BLUE DINER people nowhere in evidece, there still needs to be a more comprehensive gathering for the greater film community.
