day zero - gi joe festival
today is the second annual gi joe film festival in denver!
i was thinking back to where did this all come from?
pondpatrol?
gi joe international film festival?
pondpatrol was spawned from the wedding and the turtle obsession - my husbands -
then there was a little film festival that was in denver - inflatable duck- it was a festival open to all types of independent short films. it was around for two years, but by the second year that producers decided to vacation in europe right before the festival; shrugging all responsibilities on a volunteer at the last minute. the volunteer did the best job in a small amount of time trying to re-format: films, video tapes, and dvd's of all setting, to work cohesively. not all the dvd's would replay on the dvd player at the festival, a second dvd player plus a video player had to be brought in an emergency to play the tapes. ONE film didn't get shown: IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND THE ONE EYED MAN IS KING, Gio Toninelo.
the night was hectic, confusing and all together a disaster - i think that the films didn't arrive until an hour or so after the festival was to start?
gio vowed that night that he was going to start his own festival. little did we know then that the festival would happen several years later or that the theme would be stop- motion.
and here it is, the second round of stop-motion in denver!
it's been a whole year of submissions, design work, and organizing. not to mention that gio has been rising before the sun to make sure everything is taken care of.
Congratulation to my husband for another successful dream come true!
i love you gio,
j.letion
