This week has been fucking insane since I've been volunteering at the Trade Forum for the film festival. I'm officially exhausted because I've been volunteering, working, editing for Ricepaper and working on my class. Besides all this I also started belly dance classes and had to have a physical on Wednesday. On Tuesday I helped put together 600 delegate tickets, and arranged furniture. Thursday I womanned doors, arranged things, helped clean and was a general directions assistant, helping people find their way around the new Vancity Theatre. Today was more of the same.

However, I had a blast!

On Wednesday, Ray Liotta came to give a speech about acting, which was apparently quite well attended. He was funny and laid back and not at all like his screen persona.

Thursday- I sat in on a session about production design, run by Dennis Gassner, who did production design for "O Brother Where art thou"(haven't seen), "Bugsy" (haven't seen), "Hudsucker proxy" (loved), "Big Fish" (loved) and "The Truman Show" (haven't seen.)

Friday- Sat in on master class with screenwriter James L. White, who wrote the screenplay for "Ray." Also watched Michael Oates Palmer's talk on narrative television, which was fascinating. Palmer was a writer for Season 4 of the West Wing, and is currently writing for the show "Injustice."

I plan to expand on all of the things I remember from these talks in my next entry. Consider this short entry a place marker because I have to go to work now.

LOL, I'm insanely busy too! I'm working full time, volunteering at VIFF (Granville 7), racing canoe races (until last weekend), reading piles of research paper for grad school, and presenting at a conference! I finally checked out the forum flyer since I man the info desk at Granville 7 often and had to answer some questions about this. I had no idea there were free panel sessions opened to public! Looks very cool. Cool that Ray Liotta was at forum!
