Film Party
BY JENIECE TORANZO "GIDGET" MESA, ARIZONA USA - It's interesting to see how the contact process works. Who has connections to which production companies? If you start at the bottom of the email and read up, it shows how this event started, who contacted who and how the invite came to Jeanette who then sent to the crew. It's crazy to think that it's like a domino effect and somehow we are all linked to each other.
On the night of the party, we also went to crew member Edgar's graduation. Luckily, the locations were right down the street from each other. Although both events were starting roughly at the same time we were able to attend them both. So what we did was go to Edgar's party for a little bit then run over to the museum party and then back to Edgar's party again. When we arrived at the museum party, there weren't many people there because most had dropped in earlier. In the end, we enjoyed it because we were able to converse with people. It was nice and intimate. The place was amazing to look at and to see of all the film related equipment in the early stages of television and filmmaking. Check that out. The emails are actually from the Director/Producer themselves! I guess it goes to show you that who you know can really be helpful!
You can check out a video of that night.

Here is how the the whole thing went down:
