I'm on the train from San Francisco back home to San Jose and I am gearing up to go to both the Victoria Film Festival in Victoria, BC and the Big Sky Festival in Montana. The last festival I attended was in the Bahamas and this will no doubt be a different setting.
I have been to Victori a couple of times and always loved it. In 2008 the festival had over 18,000 attendees and the opening night gala is already sold out. I will be interviewed on Canadian Radio at 3PM on Friday 1/30 on CFAX 1070/107.3 KOOL FM and will be working with a host of distribution folks on Saturday and Sunday of that week. I am hoping to catch a number of films and meet other filmmakers and hope that I have the same luck with the quality of folks as I did in the Bahamas.
Following that I will be heading to Missoula, MT for the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival where some of the folks I met in the Bahamas will be in attendance, strangely enough our films kind of play back to back. This will be my first trip to MT and I am truly looking forward to it.
I have heard that both festivals are terrific and I am really jazzed to be making the trek. Please check back often as I will be updating this blog daily during the festivals to let you all know what I see and hear!
