My cousin flew all the way out to be with me at my first film festival. Stayed at The Viceroy. We were given the Monarch suite which we did not book. It is the most expensive room in the hotel. When we questioned the front desk the answer was, “do you believe in Karma.” We do!
Friends and relatives the night before the screening having a toast.
