2008 Dubai International Film Festival

[NYC_Guy]

I've seen a couple of films that I can recommend, "Francaise" and "iZulu Lami (My Secret Sky)". Both excellent stories with local color (Morocco and S. Africa) and examples of quality independent filmmaking. I've been to the TriBeCa film festival and the Hamptons Film Festival, and DIFF compares favorably to them both. Definitely a worthwhile experience.

Looking forward to the JoeyDee film festival...

Yup! I'll be there on the awards night (the 18th)... and will do my best to take as many pics as possible, knowingly that something always happens to interrupt my fun at such events

As for the JOEY festival, well it's not going to be called that for sure here's a little hint!

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AS LONG AS YOU CAN

Hello ALL

Well - what to say? I just woke up right now not feeling to shabby after a long night of partying and massive alcoholism at the Dubai Film Fest!

Here's how it all started. I got there a little late, the reception was at 7 and the awards started at 8... and I got there at 8:45. Not sure if anyone has ever been to Bab Al Shams hotel, but be cautions cause it's SOOOO FAR AWAY!

Anyhow - when I got in I was disoriented where to sit, because the reserved for us had a group of midget Charlie's Angel's sitting on it, which pissed me off cause they really thought they were super hot! But no worries cause they kicked them off the table and we sat down.

What sucked was I left my hi-res cam in the car so I wasn't able to take any nice shots. All and all to say; it was a really good event and really looking forwards to next year's Film Fest. Here's a video sample of how blackberry bold sucks at taking pics/vids: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=30js5yq&s=5 (block ur ears ladies)

Here are before & after pics (semi-sober to super intoxicated)
