VANCOUVER FILM RACING | All Night, Everyday

What do you get when you have 14 UBC Film undergrads, one UBC Film grad student, one UBC Film alum and two actors participating in Vancouver’s 24-hour Film Racing Tour?

Well, you get a three minute and nine second short called All Night, Everyday. When first approached (through a Facebook group invite, yes, that’s how Hollywood’s casting their blockbusters now) to participate in this competition, I was a little hesitant.  I’ve heard stories about the race from working professionals in the industry who have done it in the past, and they all say it’s crazy and chaotic.  But when do I ever listen to what other people say?

After all was said and done, I was happy to do it and I learned a lot.  I ended up bonding with a great (and gigantic 16-person) crew.  Despite being tired and probably being sick of me after spending 24-hours in a confined space*, a few of the crew members answered some questions to give people a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes during this madness.

PLUK DE NACHT | Open Air Film Festival Amsterdam

Out in the open air, rain or shine, the film must show when the sun goes down. Last night was my second night at the Pluk de Nacht (‘Seize the Night’) film festival, and it won’t be my last. The open space was jam packed with people in lawn chairs, benches, make shift seating and a fleet of late comers were standing all around, all there for the screening of This American Life TV stories.

Another must see film I caught at the festival is the clay-mated feature Mary and Max. A tale about an unlikely pen-friendship between two different people, based on a true story.

Along side the big screen, the festival site has been hosting Artist in Focus, installations, workshops and more, for the full list click here.
