I'm just saying that...

Yeah, that's great. Thanks.

[camera clicking]

- [woman] Vic, you were great!

- [man] Welcome to Nashville!

- I'm sorry to, um...

- Who's that?

Mr. Edwards,

it's so nice to meet you.

I'm a huge fan.

My dad loves your movies.

[music fades]

[cameras clicking]

- [all clamoring]

- [cameras clicking]

[all cheering]

Okay, now, Mr. Edwards,

if we could, right this way.

- Okay.

- I'd like to introduce you

to our social media director

and my better half.

- This is my girlfriend, Faith.

- [Vic] Hi, Faith.

Hi. Wow.

It's so exciting to meet you.

All Doug keeps talking about

is Vic Edwards, Vic Edwards.

And FYI, on Instagram,

Snapchat and Pinterest,

my name is FaithVonAwesome

but on Twitter, it's Faith,

underscore, VonAwesome.

Someone else beat me to it.

But that's okay.

And our Vines are hilarious.

And our Facebook page

already has, like, 200 likes,

so just feel free

to just invite all your friends.

And, FYI, we've got a few

hashtags going:
hashtag INFF,

hashtag Nashfilm,

hashtag ViclnNashville.

So just feel free to hashtag away

on any of your pics

that you post, okay?

- Thank you.

- Can I get you a drink?

Yeah, I'll have a whiskey.

- Aye, aye, sir. Okay.

- [Vic] Okay.

All right, Faith, actually,

just bring it on into the theater.

Um, we've got to get going.

We've got a lot of movies

to get through

before the big awards ceremony

Sunday.

The screening room

right around here.

There's actually a lot

of local contest winners

and fans that are already

in there, waiting.

[grunts] Excuse me. Pardon me.

- [man] He's here.

- [all cheering and applauding]

All right. Thank you, everybody,

for coming to the fifth annual

International Nashville Film Festival.

- [all cheering]

- Yeah.

You know, we've been doing this

for a number of years now,

but I have to say, it's never been

more exciting for me

than this year because we have

with us our guest of honor,

the number one box office star

for five years in a row.

- Six.

- Six. I'm sorry.

- That's all right.

- Six years in a row.

Tennessee's favorite son,

movie star extraordinaire.

Everybody, give it up

for Mr. Vic Edwards.

[all cheering and applauding]

So, Vic, the opening movie

of the festival tonight

is your 1961 classic

Nine Lives to Kathmandu,

for which the Hollywood

Critics Association

awarded you

Best Newcomer of the year.

That's the only time

I ever agreed with the critics.

[all laugh]

Oh, thank you. One second.

Oh. All right.

Thank you. [clears throat]

[Doug] So, yeah, Vic, like I said,

if you have any stories or anecdotes

about the making of that film,

I think we'd all love to hear 'em.
