Last night 10 of us alumni from CapilanoU attended the Leo Awards. Both The Peace Offering and Tucker were nominated for Best Student Production. We walked the red carpet, had champagne, met some filmmakers and applauded those who won. Unfortunately our table lost. A show I worked on The Grey Matter won many awards even Best Short Drama. All in all it was a good night out.
Thank you to Capilano University Film Centre for allowing us to go to the Leos.

Internship
Last week I got a call asking me if I was interested in an internship at Bright Light Pictures. Which is kind of ironic as last summer I was up for an inter position there but the specific spot was no longer there. Naturally I was a bit upset but Bright Light is one of "the" production companies to work for in Vancouver. So I decided to interview for the internship. I started on Thursday April 14th.
It's been going great. I'm assisting the Exec. Assistant of one of the owners of the company. I'm also answering reception calls, logging all incoming scripts, reading scripts and writing coverage, and assisting head of development.
Turns out this will also count as the practicum course at CapilanoU if I decide to go back for the degree.

Crazy 8s Screening
Last night was the screening for the 6 Crazy 8s films. One of them was Sikat and another was Cat vs. Man which I helped sound edit.
Cat vs. Man played first and got all the deserved laughs. It was directed by a friend of mine Zia Marashi. The story is about a struggling writer Rory, who gets jealous of his girlfriend's cat Waffles. Rory starts to see Waffles as a man dressed in a cat suit.
Sikat turned out really well, the score added that extra touch which made the story feel close to home.
After the screening we all went to the party, at a new club downtown called 560. It's definitely different, there are multiple floors, a co-ed bathroom with a bar and lounges, the main dance area, a VIP lounge over looking the dance floor, and a restaurant type bar. I can't wait for next year's Crazy 8s!
