I think it kind of overwhelmed people.

The rate at which we're growing lets us know we're being recognized. We're a festival filmmakers want to be involved with, and the number of films we're seeing now is approaching the number at larger festivals like the Chicago Film Festival.

The money that we would get (from the city) would stay right here.

We've definitely done better than we ever have.

It was a very good learning experience for me, ... You can learn from your mistakes and improve.

It'd be nice to get a couple warmup throws, but I went out there cold-turkey. And that's what a backup needs to do - be ready at any time. On this team, with Brett Favre in charge, that doesn't happen much, but if I am the No. 2 guy, I'll definitely be ready.
