WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well.

Well, we didn’t do much traveling this week so we got a chance to rest up from the flurry of activity we’ve experienced during the recent week.

This respite has given us the inspiration to look forward toward all the wonderful adventures the future awaits us as our imaginations venture forth with refreshed souls. We are allowing our minds to contemplate some wonderful things our fellowship could be doing in 2019 and we’ll be sure to share these thoughts with you as well with opportunities to participate once they become more solidified.

In the meantime, we’ve received a nice number of original films for us to consider for inclusion in The 2019 Forwardian Film Festival. The excellent quality of the work has already made it difficult to determine which films will be selected for screening and the numerous films we’ll received until June 1st will make it more so. However, we embrace the challenge as our film selectors relish the thought of discovering new cinematic treasures to be shared with other film lovers.

We invite you to join our selection group and share in their joys of discovery. All you need to do is respond to this issue of The Weekly Forwardian Gazette with the words Film Festival Selector in the Subject line and we’ll include you on the list of those who have access to the films we receive and you’ll have the ability to rate them. We hope you’ll join us in our enjoyable endeavors as we value your insights highly. Let’s Art. Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.

Going Forwardian with you Paul Adam Smeltz The Forwardian Arts Society
