    I like going to the Palm Springs International Film Festival because they make amazing films that bring my attention. It was fun coming to this one because we actually meet the actors in Louder than a Bomb it was great a lot of people took pictures with them and it was great. hey told us how poems came out of their heart and family. The two actors who were there read us a poem that they made in their mind and both of the poems were great.

    The film festival was very spectacular and entertaining showcase. The film that caught my attention and inspired me was "Louder Than a Bomb." The other films were also entertaining and they showed how with good directing a great film can always be made.

    The film festival was awesome i had a great time. "Louder Than a Bomb" was the best video out of all of them mostly because the people in the movie actually were there. I hope i can go next year.
