AMAZING things happen when you least expect it!

So this is my final weekend in the city - the move is on Sunday. I decided to spend my final Friday at the Blackhorse, listening to Mum and Rick. Before they got up to perform, I feel a tap on my shoulder and out of nowhere appears the man who taught my film workshop course last summer at Trent. He asked if I still had my 16mm film I had created (it was a scratched film, coloured with Sharpies and set to Donovan's "Sunshine Superman"). I said I did, and he asked if I would be interested in having him show it on my behalf at a Film Festival. Of course I said yes right away, because honestly, how often does that opportunity present itself? And then he told me where the festival will be taking place...

NEW YORK CITY!!!


I did a bit of a squeal, and a bit of jazz hands. I still can't believe it!! Who knows where this could go for me! New doors are opening up all over the place - it's so amazing! Needless to say, after he left I proceeded to do my own rendition of Ashlee Simpson's hoedown jig...things are looking pretty good at this moment! :)
