Hi everyone, quick questions: Is anyone in this community from New York? I'll be there at the beginning of October & plan to attend the New York Film Festival. However, I don't know yet whether I'll go accredited or as a public visitor. I intend to attend screenings, panels, or networking events. Has anyone had any experience with this or plans to go there? I look forward to your feedback & experiences or get in touch with me. Thank you very much!

Follow the words of Shurtleff and by all means read his book!

Katharine Hepburn was a spirited, unconventional force of nature who lit up the screen in classics like The African Queen, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, and On Golden Pond. Rising to stardom in the 1930s, she brought to her roles a unique mix of wit, eccentricity, strength, and undeniable charm. Over a career spanning more than six decades, she redefined what it meant to be a leading lady and along the way, she won a record four Academy Awards for acting. Her dazzling career wasn’t just about longevity or accolades. It was about carving out her own path in Hollywood, on her own terms. So what lessons can we take from her extraordinary journey?
