Schmoozefest, Filmfest

I’m feeling the pressure now! I started posting all these vlog’s on the site here and now a simple picture like I put in my last blog doesn’t quite cut it!

They are way more fun to do and everyone likes the vlogs way more, but they do take a little more time to put on the site. It’s getting a little harder to find any spare time these days as well, which is really the problem!

I spent the last couple of days in Toronto at the Canadian Filmmaker’s Festival, which is affiliated with the Toronto International Film Festival, one of the most popular and well known festivals in the world now. It was cool to have been invited. The festival began with a panel discussion at 10:00am Thursday morning about how to get more people to watch and become aware of Canadian films.

I’m not sure if everyone shared my point of view, but I got a few laughs which is all that really matters, right? Sarah Polley and a few other people well known in the Canadian film industry were on the panel and everyone had lots to say. It actually was quite interesting.

As most of you know, my newfound interest in Canadian film stems from becoming involved in a couple different independent productions over the last two months. Chris Nash’s film is pretty much wrapped up now, and so that I don’t continue disappointing those of you waiting for my next vlog, click here to see some more footage that I shot while acting in his movie! It should be completely cut and finished up by the end of May as far as I know.

And now it’s party time! From now until Sunday night there are parties every night that everyone goes to so they can all schmooze each other. I’ll probably go tonight, but that’s it. I really do have tons and tons of stuff to do over the next couple of weeks.

Free drinks for everyone, are you with me?

See ya guys,

JR
