I know, we aren’t updating the blog as much as I would like lately. What gives? Well, its the Film Festival and it has taken off like I could have never imagined. Its just a short 5 weeks away. We have been able to pull off some amazing sponsors and partnerships; Apple, Dolby, Adobe, Technicolor, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, Martin Scorsese Film Foundation, just to name a few. The main crew was just 5 of us and we have since hired 13 additional seasonal staff. Our office fits in well with the Palo Alto start-up culture; dogs, sisters, babies, random curious film lovers passing through. I have had to break down my awkward public speaking barrier and speak at Universities, Rotary Clubs, local schools, Intel, Netflix, etc. and the reception has been amazing. Everyone loves a Film Festival. So fingers crossed it all goes well and then we are off to AUSTRALIA for a whole month! So great ready for awesome Aussie road tripping pics as we travel the coast of Queensland starting Oct. 15. For more info on the Festival – http://www.paiff.net.
