VIFF: party

after watching Orz Boyz, i caught up with Rob, Terry and Casey who were about to go to a party at Insight's renovated theatre on Main Street. they managed to sneak me into my first ever film fest party.

oh man, is it nice in there with over a hundred lipstick red leather club chairs that can be configured in any way possible. last night, they had them in small groupings with 4-5 chairs in each to facilitate conversation.



and there were platters of deliciously prepared lebanese food from Nuba and not expensive booze ($5 per drink). PLUS, i noticed an actor from BATTLESTAR GALATICA!!!

ok, so she has a minor part but still. her real name is Jen Halley and she plays Diana Seelix who started as a deckhand and became a pilot later on. in real life her hair is super long and she's very tall and skinny. so cool.



and then i spoke with matt dentler who is big in the indie film community as he was the head of SXSW up until this year. he was nice and very tall.



and i wish i could say i saw/talked/gawked/shook the hand of don mckellar but he didn't show.
