FYI, the MAMM is part of the Vancouver Asian Film Festival.
as some of you might know, i headed up a team for MAMM in the year 2006. all sorts of fun things happened:
- we didn't win
- i was misquoted in the georgia straight and now all asian female directors LOATHE ME
- there were 3 days of filming and i was the only production person on 1 of those days. that was also the day that i had to handle camera and directing for 2 male actors + my mom + my dad + my brother + my brother's wife + my nephew. that's 6 adults waiting for me to get my shit together and shot the scene already. this, people, is what i consider to be STRESSFUL and i highly recommend against it.
- um, did i mention we didn't win?
last year, rob and i were happy to be extras on KT's team for their MAMM submission. rob played a dead guy lying in a coffin and i was a funeral attendee that rocked a triangle during the musical section.
i've just confirmed today that this year, i'm behind the camera again but working for MAMM as the behind-the-scenes videographer and editor of the montage that will include the Pitch Session (new this year) as well as footage i get from visiting each of the film sets. the montage will play at the Gala Screening where all the films submitted will be screened.
it's an awesome position to be in because i still get to be creative, people have to watch my shit and i'm not being judged in a contest.
now, as long as i stay away from journalists, everything should be fine.
