Yes, I'm almost a month behind. Sue me.

For our second film fest selection on the Saturday leg of our film fest journey was Triviatown, a documentary about the Steven's Point Trivia Contest. We were looking forward to it, as our friend J and her family do the The Great Midwest Trivia Contest at Lawrence University in Appleton.

The showing we attended was packed. Many of the attendees were from trivia teams, some of whom were in the movie. The atmosphere was boisterous and convivial. Both M and I felt as though we'd wandered into someone else's family/high school reunion.

The crowd of trivia regulars certainly added to the entertainment value. Many of the filmed teammembers were in the audience, and the laughter at themselves and each other was contagious. However, I also though it was a well-done and entertaining docu on its own. It really captured a spirit of exctement and camaraderie in a way that drew us in as viewers and made us feel almost as though we were a part of thing.

I was glad to hear that it had won "Best Wisconsin Film" this year.
