In 2015 Eddie Redmayne took home the Oscar for best actor in a leading role, in 2016 Brie Larson won the best actress Academy Award, and the question we’re left contemplating is, which guest will nab top honors next year? The Mill Valley Film Festival has an impressive record of attracting top acting talent — here are some of those stars gracing the red carpet.

Kasia Pawlowska loves words. A native of Poland, Kasia moved to the States when she was seven. The San Francisco State University creative writing graduate went on to write for publications like the San Francisco Bay Guardian and KQED Arts among others prior to joining the Marin Magazine staff. Topics Kasia has covered include travel, trends, mushroom hunting, an award-winning series on social media addiction and loads of other random things. When she’s not busy blogging or researching and writing articles, she’s either at home writing postcards and reading or going to shows. Recently, Kasia has been trying to branch out and diversify, ie: use different emojis. Her quest for the perfect chip is never-ending.
