Mini-Me & Me!
Yep, The Toronto International Film Festival or TIFF for short is about to kick into gear and I'm lucky Verne Troyer was only in second gear earlier this evening when he almost ran into me. Ok well he didn't almost run me over but I did meet him and we chatted briefly about maybe even shooting something on Friday for my latenight talkshow that goes back on the air later this fall on Global and the E!Network.
One of the impacts this Gemini nomination for "Best Host" is having on me these days is it seems like maybe I have more crediblity with people all of a sudden. More so with people's "people" but those are the ones who set up all the interviews so if I am lucky, this year at Tiff I will get some really cool moments caught on tape with some interesting celebrities.
One thing that hasn't changed at all yet since the news last week is the lack of budget I still have to deal and work with when it comes to shooting stuff ect. for my little latenight experiment that I plan on putting back on the air this fall like I mentioned above. I for sure have enough money coming in these days from sponsors to keep things rolling along and to keep a couple full time guys hired to help me shoot and edit stuff ect. but I definately could still use more volunteers to help out with stuff.
It would be great to have a couple more people to do anything from holding another camera to general PA kinda work while we are shooting at TiFF over this next week. I absolutey need someone to help me with publicity one of these days and if any of you guys are into web design, I think the site might need another new look as well. Lots to do and no money to do it with! Wa wa wa... I guess I could start digging into my pockets again and go back into debt but I went way down that road once before and it really wasn't all that much fun so screw that idea!
Hopefully I'll find some new volunteers this fall and have a great couple weeks shooting footage at Tiff. I actually have real press credentials this year for the first time ever so that will make things a little easier for sure.
I'll be sure to keep you all posted!
