IFC in L.A.

IFC Films and Blockbuster Video hosted a party on Tuesday night in L.A., at the terrific Sunset Marquis hotel (home to the annual SXSW Music Festival L.A. party). It was a really pleasant affair, honoring some of IFC's films at the Los Angeles Film Festival (Medicine For Melancholy, The Pleasure of Being Robbed, etc), as well as uniting more familiar/friendly faces that I'd seen under one roof the entire trip. Here are some moments:

(After the IFC party, almost everyone headed back to Westwood for the Target Red Room's annual festivities. That's where I reconnected with IFC Films' Ryan Werner and Medicine For Melancholy writer/director Barry Jenkins.)
