High Falls Film Festival

I had the extreme honor to photograph different events once again this year for the High Falls Film Festival. It's such an amazing production and I can't even begin to imagine what goes into putting something like this together. We are very fortunate to have this festival right here in Rochester for the most part hosted at the Little Theatre. The festival celebrates women in Film and so much more. Every year we welcome movie icons, and public figures alike to share in our love for the movies, to celebrate accomplishments, and to sit back and enjoy the show! Thank you to everyone that makes this festival possible, to the volunteers that guide us, and to the movies themselves that take us away even if just for a little while. Here's a few samples, and a fun video to reflect back on the celebration ~ enjoy!























An award ceremony was presented at the Susan B. Anthony house this year and we got to meet 'Susan' herself! :) When you talked to her, she talked back to you as if she really were Susan B. It was really fun watching her walk around and mingle.
The guest speaker was none other than Pat Carroll who's been in the movies since 1951 according to her bio...wow! A fun thing about her is that she's the voice of Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid'. She was adorable, and what a laugh!








There was a kids party hosted by M.O.K.A. and Lake Effect Magazine with AMAZING cupcakes from Premier Pastry!



Javas has hosted gatherings for the festival in the past and it's the perfect place for mingling. They provide, AMAZING food and desserts and it's always one of my favorite things to photograph during the events - thanks Javas!









The two after hours parties that I attended were hosted by ONE and Max at the Falls - both perfect for parties, events, and dancing!







On the last day of the festival, guests were invited on a complimentary trip aboard the Mary Jemison boarding at the new Corn Hill Landing...that was really fun! Our captain and tour guide shared lots of historical information about Rochester while we soaked in all the views against the wind...nothing like being on a boat. Everyone had a great time and I highly recommend everyone taking the trip.







Here's the video!
