Cinequest Opening Night
As far as Opening Night in general though, I thought it went well this year.
The pre-film presentations and talks were short and interesting, even if the promise of a Steve Wozniak appearance only ended up being a film clip. Mayor Chuck Reed was awesome and declared “San Jose – the Capital of Silicon Valley” enough times to make me giggle. Lisa Kim was great, and Christopher Garcia is always my favorite host/interviewer/moderator. It’s always nice hearing Halfdan Hussey talk.
The after film Q&A went very well, with the usual questions about budget and shooting length (my eyes popped when she said it was a four week shoot). Bijou was cute and bubbly and has great legs, and the director was interesting and intelligent. Danny Masterson stole the show with some of his answers.
The after party again, was not for me, but I’m sure a lot of people had a lot of fun. I’m not knocking Cinequest for the party, but we may need to find a much bigger venue next year – Cinequest just keeps growing and growing!
All in all, except for some exceptionally rude people that I’m not used to seeing at Cinequest, I think we have a great start on our hands. I am really looking forward to the next eleven days and SO glad I won’t have school getting in the way this year.
I’ll see you at the movies tonight.
