It seems like only yesterday we started the "T-Minus 100 Days" countdown, yet here we are with our 11th annual showcase less than two weeks away. This weekend alone we have a to-do list of 61 action-required items. You may think we're joking, but we're not. Seriously. By Sunday night, we need every item on the list checked-off as completed or to be completed by November 1st.
Our main focus this weekend has been on the technical side of our upcoming screenings. We've reassigned the team lead and the wheels are in motion, with a contingency plan in place. We can exhale now.
Another big rock for us this week is our print deadline! Almost forgot about it. Our creative edits have been submitted for the artwork and we've asked all sub-committee coordinators to get us the names of their volunteers for the program.
What else can we can share? Oh, ticket sales! They're in full swing right now and we're very happy to report that our final screening, Bad Actress, is almost sold out. As of this morning, we had 20 tickets left. Get 'em while you can. And if you follow us on Twitter, you may see an opportunity come up for some free tix. Just sayin'...
The usual updates to the website and a list of social media outlets is also on the to-do, including MySpace. Really! Don't judge.
The longest section of the list is devoted to special events, including our filmmaker party, opening night event, after-hours parties, panels, food trucks, in-kind donations, booze, and more parties! We think we have our bases covered but if you have an idea, please chime in.
VFF11 runs November 11-13 at The Whitefire Theatre, 13500 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. Screenings run daily. Tickets are $10-$15.

In case you're curious, it's Sunday night and we still have 31 items to go! Keep those fingers crossed that they all get done by tomorrow night.
