Victoria we're here!

We're here, well across the street from here. The photo is the Empress Hotel where many of the filmmakers for the Victoria Film Festival will stay and where the hospitality suite is. I was excited to get here and when we did get here there was Trudy, our driver, was waiting for us. That is one thing about getting a film accepted to and then attending a festival - the treatment you get as a filmmaker is special..so much so that I had a driver - well for a day. We were drooped off at the hotel and immediately went to the hospitality suite to pick up our credentials and it was fun to walk through the entire length of the historic Empress Hotel to find the hospitality suite empty, vacant, unattended. Well the festival actually starts tomorrow, Friday but from what we understood the suite would be going strong but why we thought that...well I'm not really sure - but it is great to be here.

Tomorrow we officially go pick up our packets, hopefully get to chat with some of the other filmmakers, I have an interview on CFAX radio in Victoria at 3pm and then the opening night film and party follow. Delta Rising screens at 9PM on Sunday.

Now its time for a glass of red wine, putting Cooper to bed and kicking back with my wife. More tomorrow.
