The festival took great pains to make the night spectacular. They projected their 20th anniversary logo everywhere.
After settling into the wet little city, I’m at the SJIFF opening gala. Red carpet, free booze and cheese shapes, I’m under dressed as usual…
I met 2 filmmakers from Prince Edward Island and a claymay genius from Switzerland. I was also chauffered around by the mom of NL’s up and coming director (of Crackie).
Katie, Amy, Victoria and Shannon from the festival are goddesses.
Interesting note: film crew boys here are exactly the same in MSP.
The after party went late, I tried to mingle, turns out I’m not comfortable unless I’m helping or working…
