I chose “Concerning Hobbits” from Fellowship of the Ring for this post, because yesterday’s experience at the first ever Moose Jaw Film Festival was heartwarming as shit and I’m feeling sentimental. It was a big ol’ friend fest and a real celebration of the collaborative spirit of the Saskatchewan film community. And by George, if there weren’t some damn good films and commercials and music videos and web series episodes, too. The quality of work being done here is really impressive.
Also, I MUST SAY, despite this festival being put together so quickly, it was easily one of the best I’ve ever been to. The trio of
@timothylenko ,
@jeremyratzlaff , and
@nicklamb_realestate thought of everything, and were incredible hosts. Super professional, welcoming, and inclusive. If you missed it this year, you won’t wanna next year.
Here’s one of the only photos I have from yesterday, of me,
@styledayne , and
@dylanhryciuk after the awards gala, and Our Last Day As Kids taking home four awards, including Best Director, Short Film, Performance, and Best of Festival. Feeling very proud of everyone on the OLDAK team.
ALSO also, a big shoutout to our teams for A Priest Walls Into a Bar (
@timothylenko ,
@heartswornfilms ), and More Than One Way to Split a Cat (
@jwendzina ,
@saulandnovacreative )! It was so rewarding to share those films with a packed theatre.
Go SK film!
