Victoria Film Festival 2010

February 16, 2010

I was super busy in early February volunteering for the Victoria Film Festival.  I’d never had a chance to go before, but I will definitely be involved in the future.  I helped set up for the opening gala, took photographs at a bunch of events, and did a venue shift near the end.  I also met some awesome people and had fun at the wrap party.  I saw two full films and part of two others.  Like Dandelion Dust was very interesting and well acted by all and A Perfect Day was fascinating, depressing, and confusing all at once.  I hope to see more next year.  I’d also like to get more involved with volunteering at the venues and events.  Photography was fun, but I love to be a part of events like these instead of observing them from behind the lens.

Took some photos of happy volunteers and lines at Capitol 6 on the first Saturday night for the showings of Like Dandelion Dust and Cooper’s Camera.  It seemed like a fun place to volunteer.

Took a few shots at the Empire Music Lounge at Whitebird, where they had a band playing and some awesome lighting.

I also took a few photos at the Odeon showing of Finding Farley.  The parts of it I got to see were pretty interesting and awe-inspiring.
