It’s 12:30 AM. Just finished dinner — or is that breakfast? Red carpet with Ana and Margaret and Helen Mirren. The SBMS Teen Press is truly awesome. I witnessed it myself tonight and all day as reporters pointed at the kids and said, “We should be interviewing them and getting their story,” as I stood invisibly behind them and watched them engage their filmmakers.

    As Margaret and Ana said tonight at the Arlington. “It’s so neat when you go from your questions to feeling like you are having a conversation . . . .”

    Time for bed. Riding for Rwanda in a couple hours. Check in Saturday afternoon for news of our Friday film adventures.

    Until then, be patient downloading that Too Cool page. It will be worth it. Tomorrow afternoon, there will be more from all the reporters plus more video from Friday night’s red carpet.

    Did you know Helen Mirren likes gardening?
