The Seattle International Film Festival was approaching it’s 40th anniversary and wanted to celebrate both the wide range of films throughout the festival’s storied history and the people who love them. The objective was to devise a new promo trailer that would bring together film characters and festival-goers alike for a truly unique celebration. In other words: let’s throw a massive f’ing party. Without exaggeration—probably the most I’ve ever laughed on set. Everything was done in one very long day due to budget, and our BG talent was almost entirely composed of SIFF members and fans. They rolled with everything, smiling as widely as we did. A magical day.
