....Again thank you so much for joining us at the Oasis! I have a couple of questions regarding the brand marketing that you do. How do you decide which companies to partner with? We are fairly choosy when it comes to creating partnerships-- often we are seeking an organic match that will not only c...

...I know how hard you worked at this year's festival. I am not just talking about the logistics beforehand, but, rather, about how you seemed to make it to the opening moments of every film. You may not have stayed, but you were there. I am sure there was many a "Phew!" as you raced to ea...

...It seems almost everything that was featured at the Festival either has turned up on TCM, or will in the next month or so. Most encouraging. Thank you again for all your continued hard work. Very much looking forward to the long awaited new documentary on Hollywood. MOGULS AND MOVIE STARS in Nove...

Thank you, Gen! I can't wait to see Cary Grant and Preston Sturges.... How about a round table writer's discussion with Sturges, Wilder, Brackett, Ben Hecht, Dorothy Parker, Morrie Ryskind and Robert Riskin? I can dream too, can't I? :D In response to your answers about Luise Rainer and how smoothl...

--I just wanted to say I am very happy to see the Hammer horror films featured on TCM this month. They are often overlooked, and it made me glad to see that TCM was "thinking outside the box" on this issue. thank you! I will pass that on to our programming group. I agree- it's great that w...

...I was lucky enough to meet you at the festival for a moment, and you were indeed as busy as the linked article claims. How do you keep up your energy level? -Do you know if there is an air date for the interview with Luise Rainer yet? -BTW, I'm tall, bilingual, respond well to commands, and chatt...

...I am curious on how TCM handles their celebrity guests who attend the festival screenings. Aside from having them sign a standard release for video material, do you also pay your guests an honorarium fee? I can't comment on the honorarium fee or arrangements, but I will say that TCM is very grate...

Moira[/quote]I was wondering if there are plans to celebrate the work of a particular director at the 2011 event? What criteria does TCM use when selecting a film for this upcoming event? Is there a possibility that the TCM Film Festival would ever be held on the East Coast someday? Will more roadsh...

...My question is more of a personal one - you are a film buff, and majored in film studies, so I would love to know what are your favorite classic films? Do you have a favorite film era? Boy, that is a tough question-- I will watch pretty much any screwball comedy, have an affinity for British cine...

Please, would you tell us, if you could have any celebrity you wanted to attend TCM's film festival next April...WHO would that be? Who would your dream picks be? I'm anxious to read your response to Theresa's question about what stars may be attending the affair next April. Any chance Joan Leslie w...

I recognize some of the folks here (hi Joe, Theresa and April!) okay- so to answer some more questions... My question is, what kind of reaction do you typically get when people learn what you do for a living (and that you work for TCM)? It's usually pretty positive-- it's incredibly rewarding to be ...

First of all- thank you for welcoming me to the Oasis-- I'm flatterered by the interest, on a personal note, and I'm thrilled to hear such positive feedback about TCM and the festival... I will try to answer as many questions as possible, and thank you for bearing with me, as I'm a bit of a newbie w...
