The Countdown begins
10 Full Days left in Whistler and plans for the next leg of the journey are slowly being made, but there is plenty of time to talk about that later.
Been up the hill for the past 3 days, spent my time almost exclusivly in the park working on grabs (Indie: sorted, Melanchollie: almost there and Crail: Just starting) as well as trying to get my 180* spins looking slightly better, no major accidents but some very close calls... ;o)
Last night myself and SK attended our first Telus Festival event - the Filmmaker Showdown. The Showdown was open to anyone - ameteurs/pros/groups or individuals - the entrants had 72 hours to shoot, edit and produce short films of about 4 minutes in length on any subject.
There was a sellout crowd of 2000 people to watch the 8 best films from a total of 56 submissions.
The films we saw where all very good and ranged from the generally strange 'Attack of the 2nd Dimention' (Whistler gets attacked by a laser-beams-for-eyes triangle), to the slightly scary 'Now you Know' (Scream style serial killer stalks woman and teaches her traffic law) to finally the outright hillarious 'Stiff Nosed Dick' (A New York Private Eye - played by a stuffed dog puppet - tries to track down a womans lost cat), no prizes for guessing some of the jokes in that film...
Tonight we're off to the 'Photographer Showdown' so we'll let you know how that goes.
