Welcome to the Larry411.com Guest Columnists!

In my travels to the best film festivals in North America (I'll get to the other continents soon!) I've been extremely fortunate to have met many talented writers, fellow journalists and cinephiles who share a special passion for independent film. Several have become close friends over the years. Some I only know virtually -- via Twitter and other social media -- and a few have become partners in crime as I've visited festivals like Sundance, SXSW, and Toronto for eight years running. I'm proud to count some of these esteemed colleagues among my best friends and enjoy reading their work as much as, I hope, they appreciate mine. With the launch of Larry411.com, we've created a unique opportunity for my fellow film lovers to contribute articles of their own. This new section of the site for Guest Columnists will, hopefully, allow Larry411.com to showcase the excellent work of these writers.
