NFB screening - thank you friends!

Thanks to EVERYONE who came to the screening of IDC videos at the National Film Board on Monday February 25th. Most of the audience were Marathon Women fans including 3 of the film's STARS (Mary, Hardish & Karen) and my co-director/producer Tamara. Thanks also to the lovely representatives of JeansMarines Men's Auxiliary (Gary, Dennis and Ray), my wonderful Rich, Jan from Vancouver, Marci & Greg, and Lesley and Angie who all came to show their support. I really appreciate it dear friends!

Interesting to see all 9 shorts from the Toronto area, including 3 of the 2007 finalists and 6 others never before screened.

Really enjoyed "Forty Years, Hockey Nights" about diehard Leafs fans keeping the FAITH that their team will take home the Stanley Cup. "The Bells of St. James" reminded me that across the street at St. Lawrence Hall we had our wedding reception 6 years ago. Also reconnected with a friend who is now a Hot Docs Programmer. And of course we had to have a beer after. Shot of the gang at the Friar coming soon...
