One of the much anticipated events during the film festival is a party thrown by local successful film production company, Pope Productions (Rare Birds plus lot’s more.) We hunted down producer and party planner Baptiste Neis who divulged that this year’s theme is “the little black dress.
We wonder how Ed Tanasychuk – Technical Director of the festival – will top his jaw-dropping and unrecognizable transformation of 2 years ago when he cut off his long locks and shaved his beard of 15 years off to come as a 1940′s style gangster.
Hmmm.
No pressure, Ed.
NB. Aw, crap. I just realized that I am doing a workshop Sat. morning at 10 am – and the party only starts at 11pm the Friday before. How unlucky is that?
I guess it could be worse, Annette Clarke (Hannah’s Story) has a 7:30 am interview with the CBC that Saturday. I feel her pain.

Hey Irene– haven’t seen you yet today, but then I have been runnning back and forth from the day job to the festival events. Hope your jet lag is gone and you’re gathering stamina for Pope’s party and all that that implies.
Keep on bloggin’ sister.
