Man I am officially two weeks behind on my SIFF blogging. I got off to such a good start too. However I guarantee to you, my 3 dedicated readers, that I will put down some mediocre rantings about every day and every film of the fest [...]

I was totally fried today as predicted. I ended up taking off a bit early from work so I could beat the traffic to Bellevue, and since I got there a couple hours before the movie I took a little nap in my car. Ah yes, the glamorous film festival lifestyle.
Speaking [...]

I knew we were entering a tough stretch here. Two movies tonight at 7 and 9, then work in the morning, then across the great beyond to the Eastside for another movie tomorrow night. Life’s tough, I know.
Today was Rossellini day - The Flowers Of St Francis and Rome, Open City [...]

Started off today bright and early with a nice long wait in the rain for the start of the Secret Festival. There was a nice surprise in store though, free Sundance Channel umbrellas! Always useful in Seattle. Speaking of rain, why the hell isn’t The Wayward Cloud in this festival? It [...]

Found a couple more SIFF writers

Media Babe, who apparently works at Scarecrow and is volunteering at the SIFF box office. Now I can play the guessing game and try and figure out who she is.
Metroblogging Seattle is also covering some movies
I suppose I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the coverage at The [...]

For those who don’t know, I work at The Seattle Times. My job rocks, I generally love the shit out of it. In addition to the main Seattle Times website, there is a network of other sites which are run by the company - NWSource and NWClassifieds. Some weeks ago the editorial guy for NWSource [...]

I’ve been enjoying doing the long writeups but they take forever to write and during SIFF time is one thing that is not coming easy. Still, I’m trying, possibly by the end of the week I’ll catch up. In the meantime here are some others doing SIFF blogging:

Roya is blogging her films seen as well [...]
