Our first day of work was on Wednesday. I worked the first shift with Tim and Dani (she only lets you call her Daniela if you can say it beautifully). Tim and I walked the 2 miles to work. We had to be there at 745. It was fun seeing the city start to come alive, especially the day the festival started.
After work I went and walked around the market place for a while and watched people buy movies. Lots of fun. I went to the Short Film Corner and saw my video. Crazy!!!!! I picked up the catalogue for the whole corner and it was so neat to see my video listed.
I saw a movie called either Burning Bright or Ravenous. Still not sure. The ticket and promos said Burning Bright, inside the movie it said Ravenous. It was... interesting. I fell asleep a few times, but to be honest I have just become so accustomed to falling asleep in those chairs that it just seems so natural that it's hard not to.
Wednesday night we tried the rush line. What a bummer. We were in the first few in rush line for UP and they didn't let anyone in even though the house was empty. Such a disappointment. Apparently, they didn't want to let rush line in and then have the theatre still empty. Understandable, but still frustrating since we waited for so long. But, I did make some friends with some film makers from Germany and Switzerland. They were so impressed that my short was 2 minutes long they said they would check it out.
So instead, we walked to a little Chinese restaurant and got drinks. The girl and I that went were so tired that I ordered orange juice and she got nothing. We walked around a little bit more with the guys that we went with and then just caught the bus back to the hotel. It was still a pretty fun night.
Thursday was same with work only we decided to take the bus because we had both been out so late. We got to work at 730 and started brewing a ton of coffee. I think I can work at Starbucks after this.
I have become great friends with culinary so one of the chefs split his lunch with me. Yes! Not another croissant or apple (I eat at least 3 of each a day!).
Afterwards, I met up with Ari, Becky, Ryan, and Roarke, and we went and saw Coffin Rock which was amazing. We only went and saw that because the theatre next to us with Moon in it, which we initially were planning on seeing, was packed. We all fell asleep in that, too. But it happens. I'm telling you- comfy chairs.
I signed up earlier that day for the red carpet of Fish Tank. As students, we get a certain number of tickets and it goes to a raffle. Pip, the head of tickets for the students, got the same amount for all the students wanting to go. Some of the students didn't want to see it so I took an extra and went with my friend Roarke from Chicago. I'll make sure to get the pictures from his camera of us walking on the carpet.
Afterwards we walked around town with croissants and took a taxi back with one of the interns we found after the show.
Now, I am about to edit some footage for the flip camera project we are doing. I will put the link up here and tomorrow morning I will get a picture account. Today and tomorrow I work 2-8 and Sunday I start working at 730am again. It's a 2 day rotating schedule.
Au revoir!
