Last year's AFI Fest was amazing. I volunteered, went to a few premier screenings, and even watched short films for the first time. Like with anything you do a second time, I have reflected back to the things I wish I would have known, and look forward to what I will do this year to make the experience even better than the last.

This year's AFI Dallas Festival will showcase 77 feature films and 96 shorts from 22 countries. Instead of waiting for the critics to review these movies, this year make it your own. Sure, it's a risk. The movie could be horrible and your night could be ruined (a bit drastic, but I've been there.) Don't worry. I've done the legwork, reading through all the film synopsis' (currently only covering Feature Films) and choosing the good ones.
