Countdown to VFF10...T-Minus 3 Days (Or Is It 2?)

The Valley Film Festival opens in two days. That's right, in two very short days, we'll give VFF10 a swift kick in the caboose with our first mini-film expo, followed by our "Meet the Filmmakers" party, complete with a few food trucks rolling in to make sure we eat as we booze-n-schmooze.  After that, we'll start our three-day marathon of Valley, American, and International film screenings. Many of the international filmmakers are in town for AFM, and will be at the festival for their screening, so here's your chance to connect globally!

And since this is an official "Countdown to VFF10" post, here's what we've been up to these last few days:
  • Two tech checks at CAP Theatre. Yay! Everything works. 
  • A third round of press releases went out w/a fourth to go out tomorrow.
  • Artwork at printer.
  • Reminder: Programs NEED to go to printer.
  • Promotion with IDA scheduled. 
  • Kirin delivery scheduled.
  • Food Trucks alerted (Thanks to @ValleyFoodTruck for bringing us The Hot Box Truck, The Greasy Wiener, and Onolicious Hawaiian BBQ pending parking & other obstacles.)
  • Reminder: Order awards.
  • Worked with the FIVE editors assembling our programs for our hard drives from 5:30pm-11pm -- that's right, we went digital this year.
That's definitely NOT it, but that's all we could remember of the last 48 hours.

Countdown to VFF10...T-Minus 10 Days

We're almost there! Can you feel the excitement through your computer? In 10 days, we'll be holding court at the historic El Portal Theatre, and here's your official invitation!

To start off the magical day, join us for our mini-expo: The 1st Annual Valley Indie Filmmaker Expo Presented by AVS

To celebrate 10 years of showcasing independent cinema, The Valley Film Festival has teamed up with Advantage Video Systems (AVS) to launch The 1st Annual Valley Indie Filmmaker Expo to further promote the exhibition, production, and education of filmmaking in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.

We invite you to join us in the reception area of the historic El Portal Theatre to browse exhibits from 5-6 local vendors and to network with flmmakers, industry, and friends.

AND...if you're reading this blog, you're a friend of VFF and that means you're invited to join us after the expo to meet the VFF10 filmmakers over a round of drinks, courtesy of Kirin and Coppola Wine.
