One of the many failings of the Asheville Film Festival for years was the focus on pursuing a “star” when they should have focused on bringing in quality movies. They righted that ship towards the end, but it was too little too late.
Another festival touted getting Ridley Scott. Of course he never showed up.
I was told that it is incredibly hard to book a working actor or filmmaker. They will make the time to show up at Cannes or Toronto but Asheville is far off the radar. A reason why I love Actionfest so much is they have concentrated on bringing in the best films possible instead of stars and parties.
any guesses on who the star might be?
