My VIFF Window!!
As many of you know, we are in the midst of the Vancouver International Film Festival! But what many of you might not know, is that V.I.F.F. holds a window display competition called “Window On the World Window Display Competition”. The guidelines are pretty simple: create a window display that highlights and brings attention to V.I.F.F. When I heard about the competition and what the prize was (2 tickets to the closing gala) I immediately said “I NEED to do that!”
I am pretty obsessed with film and so any chance I get to exploit my ridiculously large movie collection and play with old film roles I am in! So I packed up my movies, grabbed my old movie tickets (yes I have a collection of every movie I have seen in the past 4 years…and yes it takes up a lot of space in my wallet), bagged up some popcorn and nibs and hawled it up to the store. Then the fun part came…lugging a like 100 pound leather couch from the basement into the window. In the rain. And then trying to fit it through the door that was to small for it. Lets just say if it wasn’t for the brawney buff angel from the liquor store across the street who came and helped us 3 wimpy girls, no one would be getting in the store for awhile. So for the next 4 hours, we placed some props, hooked up some tvs, played dvds and made a cd chandelier. Then at about 12 oclock, the masterpiece was finished.
The window has been up for a while and there have been some minor changes (for example Back to the Future and Cars are now playing on the TV instead of The Sound of Music and Finding Nemo) but the competition is still open until the 15th! So if you love my window, and want to fufill my dreams of going to a big hollywood movie event then please go to http://www.viff.org/festival/a-window-on-the-world-voting/ and vote!
Thanks!
