The inaugural Napa Valley Film festival wrapped up on Sunday and it was a huge success. For five glorious fall days the Valley was hopping with films, wine and parties hosted from Napa to Calistoga. We decided to take a day off from construction and bought a pass for Saturday and watched four films – all of them were excellent, especially First Generation. This film, which followed four low-income students in California as they struggled to overcome the tremendous obstacles that keep well deserving but disadvantaged students from receiving the college education they deserve is still haunting me four days later. I wasn’t surprised to see it won an award.
Between films we had plenty of time for wine tasting and enjoying the glorious Napa Valley fall weather. I can’t wait for the 2nd annual film festival next fall when the Inn on Randolph is completely remodeled and back in full operation and we can share this event with our guests!
