Well tonight is the night that The Band will open the Berlin Porn Film Festival! I would say I’m nervous but have so much to do before then, it probably won’t hit me until I’m standing up in front of the audience before the film starts!
Sanne Kurz who was the brilliant DOP for the film has arrived in Berlin and we have been having a great time catching up..its like we haven’t been apart but when you have such a strong creative bond with someone it is hard to lose all connection!
I went past the cinema yesterday to pick up my pass and the well organised team were putting the finishing touches on hanging artwork and putting up posters. One volunteer has travelled all the way from Ireland to come and be a part of it!
Today, I’m off to meet the German distributor, Wolfgang of Cult Movies. He is coming to do an interview with me but I’m not sure what for yet…but I guess I will find out this afternoon.
After that I have a meeting with the other jury members who will be voting on the best short films, then I’m off to interview Candida Royalle. She has been such a support for me over the years so it will be great to finally meet her in person.
Keep tuned for tomorrows post as I will have photos and stories from Opening night!
