I had the pleasure of helping Reel Asian with their email campaigns the previous four years. Unfortunately I couldn't continue this year. And while it's always hard seeing people can really do without you, what I love is that they've not only taken on doing their campaigns themselves, but expanded to include a myspace presence and a blog!
It's really tough being a small filmfest to do it all well, and Reel Asian has always been extremely well organized and well supported by the film community and the very diverse Asian community in the GTA, delivering one of the best festivals of the year. This looks like an incredible lineup, they've really outdone themselves for their 10th birthday. I'm so disappointed to see SunDance winner Journey From the Fall is already sold out (but hopefully this means it will be released).
Opening Night is always a lot of fun, followed by the opening night party. This year's opening film sees the return of Patrick Tam to the director's chair after 17 years (widely regarded as teacher as well as editor for Wong Kar-Wai), with the acclaimed After This Our Exile. (I still have my promo email writer hat on... sigh...)
Best wishes Deanna, Grace and the team!! And hope to see everyone at the film fest!
