There are film people coming from Austria, Hawaii, India and Israel. The Solona Beach Eco Rotary club is trying to help find accommodation for some of these people in private homes – to help the festival defray some of the expenses. There are eight people for whom Greg is looking for accommodation. Some two nights, some three and some four. Please let Niels Lund know if you think there’s a chance of assisting with housing (nlund@sbeco.org). Niels will send names and specific dates for each person.
