Film Fest Flash Interview: Caroline Stanley, Editorial Director



Caroline is like that cool friend of your sister's that you wish you were the same age as so you could also be friends but with the present age difference plus the fact that she's already friends with your sister who you're not even that into these days it's a little weird so instead you just glean fashion and trend tips by eavesdropping on their conversations whenever you're at the same party and feel kinda honored when you're CC'd on their emails.

What's your favorite part of the Film Festival?
Because I'm a huge indie rock nerd, I love checking out the band that plays our Closing Night party. Last year, I got to hang around with Morningwood during their sound check - Chantal, their lead singer, was absolutely adorable in person. And don't even get me started on how stoked I am that MGMT is playing the party this year. Hipster Brooklyn boys are my weakness.

What film are you looking forward to the most?
It's a tie. I've read a lot about "Frost" in the blogosphere, because New York heiress-about-town Lydia Hearst has a small role. I heart socialites. I'm also obsessed with mockumentaries, so "Nightlife", the flick that follows a pack of vampires in their day-to-day lives, is on my radar as well.

One piece of advice for having a blast at the Fest:
Stay for the Q&As after the movie. Yes, you'll see the cast and filmmakers at the after-party, but don't pass up the rare opportunity to ask them anything you want, with their undivided attention. Ok, maybe not anything. But you know what I mean. It's pretty freaking cool.
