No more Santa Barbara Film Festival tributes — last night’s Jeff Bridges celebration was the last. Today and tomorrow are for screenings, walk-arounds, bike rides, naps, a dinner or two and the usual daily column filings. I’ll be driving back to Los Angeles late Sunday morning, but with no particular haste or aggression.


The legendary Jeff Bridges, honored last night by SBIFF, with Hell or High Water costar Gil Birmingham during tribute finale.

SBIFF exec director Roger Durling and dedicated volunteer Helen Cornell, who began donating her time to the festival 32 years ago (i.e., ’85).
