Winning & Not Losing
Mmmmm, another fine weekend of winning and not losing!
First, here's our winner:
The Word on the Street guide was named Best Printed Program at the Festival & Events Ontario President's Gala on Saturday night. Only poor Jason knows the truth about what we went through to get that to print. The fest was also a finalist for Best Souvenir/Merchandise.
Second, I did not lose: The distributor asked me to do the poster for Away From Her (trailer) when the film was nearing completion, but Sarah Polley already had a designer working on it so I missed out. It was a bit of a disappointment because a) I really like the film, and b) I had a strong concept that would have made a great poster. But now I'm glad because if I'd been connected to the film, I would have been really disappointed when neither Oscar nomination panned out. On the other hand, probably not because it seems inevitable that Polley will get one of those things eventually ...
