What a week!
Its been a crazy few weeks as I worked my ass off towards meeting a ridiculous deadline for two events at the same time! The first was the first time “Dead on Film” Rio theater zombie film festival which I had promised myself not to enter but could not resist since its the only zombie specific film festival Vancouver has to offer! Yes its a first time event but I know a good thing when I see it and I think this festival will get bigger as years go by. The reason I hate entering these stupid competitions is because the winners at these events are generally selected by other stupid people. Before you get your panties in a knot and bite my head off for sounding like an asshole please allow me to explain.
These competitions are no different then Halloween costume party contests! By that I mean its usually a place where a bunch of drunk and stoned individuals get together to watch some trippy shit that makes them laugh even though its probably not even funny. Then everyone gets to vote based on how many friends you have in the audience or how drunk the guy beside you was when he selected “Pissing doll” because it was great hand held camera work by a couple amateur stoners who thought it would be funny to shoot and place on you tube! Along comes a festival hell lets enter it! If these things were actually judged by a panel of experts who actually know what quality looks like and understand the process and can tell that a single shot may have taken a person 3 months to compile, then they would be worth entering. I think once again I am going back to the Fuck silly competitions and concentrate on the bigger picture.
Now that Im done venting lets talk about a much better day that definitely helped people know about Bong! The 2010 Vancouver Zombie walk kicked off on the 21st on a beautiful sunny day and was lead by the Bong OF The Dead cast as we marched down the street with a banner held up high! Lots of pictures on my face book wall posted by everyone so feel free to take a peak! Here is a couple cool ones of us leading about 6000 people on the march!
