New video: Reel Shorts Film Fest

It's finally here: The video from the 2008 Reel Shots Film Festival in Grande Prairie! Filmmakers and film-lovers alike gave me their take on the fest, as well as some advice for budding filmmakers. I even found a credit union member in the bunch!

A huge thank you to everyone who said a few words on camera. Not all the footage made it into this first video, so keep your eye out for more interview clips to come!

I'd also like to thank Terry for putting together such a phenomenal week of workshops and films.

I'd also like to thank my producer, the wonderful cast and crew, and my mom...

They're cutting me off with the 'finish-your-speech music' now, so as a closing note: enjoy the film!

Awesome, can't wait to see the rest. Loved the dance contest you had with Scott. Can't wait until next year. (Provided I am still in the country)

Just learned a new dance move: the "Larissa" (2:40-2:42)! Great job, as always!

Free banking = magic realism. Young & Free Spokester = really magical.
