I'm just fresh back from Salt Spring Island Film Festival. What an amazing experience! Hives for Humanity: The Power of Bees played to two full screenings, and got a great reception at both. Such a lovely community - I've never felt so welcomed nor been so well cared for. I met some great people and got to see some wonderful films. Particular standouts for me were All The Time In The World, The Pristine Coast and On the Trail of the Far Fur Country.
