I learned so much from Anna Petras while doing this interview.

Far from being just places for parties artsy elite's to waste tax payers money (boo Stephen Harper - so dumb) they are places for parties so that people can sell films. A meeting place for building relationships. Kind of like a golf course, but way more loud.

Here is some lingo:

TIFF - Toronto International Film Festival
AFF - Atlantic International Film Festival
VIFF - Vancouvever International Film Festival
SJIWFF - St. John's International Women's Film Festival

Market - where your try and sell your film

That’s the sound of the St. John’s International Women’s Film Festival's staff going mad with last minute details! Long days and even longer nights have gone into creating a fantastic program and planning for an impressive opening night gala! Hope to see you there – make sure when you pick up the program – the week looks awesome!

Something came up this morning when we were getting ready to post the trailers from the moovy.ca contest – one of the trailers contains original lyrics to the music from a popular song. The person who made the trailer asked us to wait – hold off until they researched the legalities of this situation. Have any of you ever encountered that situation?? Comment and let us know how you handled it.

Oh and thanks to the wonderful folks at Bell Canada / Down East Mobility – they donated cell phones to the festival! I got the one with the camera!! I’m going to post pictures from the festival – silly ones. I hope you do too!
