Last week on Tuesday, I mentioned there was an info session for volunteers for this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. I also mentioned that there would be another info session the following Tuesday, which, as it works out is today. See, timing is all very circular; or at least my brain is. Or maybe it’s just that I watched Primer last night which only takes 78 minutes to see but keeps you thinking and trying to figure out what you saw for the next 24 hours!
Whatever the case may be, tonight is the second cattle call info session where you can hear all the department heads beg for you to come join the festival. If you’re interested in learning more, you should check-out the Volunteer web page on the festival web site and email or call the volunteer info lines. If you’re available to come tonight, they’ll give you the details and let you know if there’s room. If you’re not, you are still totally welcome to offer your services, and they’ll fill you in on how.
Last week’s session went well and the room was pretty full which is great. The festival really only runs because of the thousands of people who offer up their time for free. I was one of those people for two years before becoming more involved. I’ve been both happy and proud to be part of such a growing institution for the New York film community, and I know I’ll be doing my part to make this year’s festival the best one yet. More on that in another post, another time ….
Out of Focus 
Oi, I see you have Coffee & Cigarettes queued up. Let me save you 90 minutes. It is the worst movie I have ever seen. I’m not exaggerating. I like most of Jim Jarmusch’s flicks, but this one is just awful.
