Film Festival in Newfoundland





Last year I had a film in the St. John's International Women's Film Festival. This year they let me create the signal film or "trailer" or "sting" for the festival, which would open each screening.
All went well.
As a part of the deal I asked if they would bring me out there again so I could be a part of the festivities. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. They know how to have a good time there on The Rock.
To add to the joy of just being there, at the closing party the festival allowed me to do a 5(ish) minute set of my comedy fire eating -- a show I've been developing over the last year.
It went spleennndidly and couldn't have been a better ending to a fabulous week on the Atlantic. There are so many new people to develop friendships with now. Priceless.

the Fruits of Labour



I created this piece over three evenings in front of the tv, on a pad of dollar store tracing paper, working back-to-front.
I swear, it looks a lot better when it's not smooshed and pixilated on youtube.
Overall, I'm happy with it. I had to create something to prove to myself that tendinitis did not ruin me.
