Dear Donald Harrison, I have been to the Ann Arbor Film Festival many times in my life and it is always nice to see the different artworks and the creative side of different people. This festival gives the artists a bigger platform, providing more recognition and a bigger audience. I definitely feel that you are using a focus strategy by focusing directly on artists and allowing them to do what they love to do. The 50th anniversary is coming up soon, you said, and I am sure that all of the artists in the area look forward to it every year. They feel empowered and appreciated as artists and love the experience and atmosphere the festival provides. I don't think that this festival will ever disappear because of its empact on artists and the empowerment that they feel. Lauren Lozen, Student Eastern Michigan University
