London River... Pink and Red...

... was a great film. Best I have seen so far. Went to a lecture on indie distribution and self distribution by the director of that Nazis on the Moon flick (it had a great trailer) and M dot Strange earlier.

We have pink bags (swag) and everywhere in Berlin people bear pink Berlinale bags (Talent Campus) or red (general Berlin). And we have to wear lanyards with our photos as well. Hey, it's a signifier! I have gotten moee used to just walking up to people and starting conversations. It is really freeing, but does not come naturally to me. Our course leaders (who did special effects for The Changeling and Letters from Iwo Jima) seemed pleased with our results over the week (we had an internal critique today and there is a public screening tomorrow).

Had a meeting with a very cool Greek production designer.

The British party was a blast. Apparently Tilda Swinton was there, but I didn't see her. It snowed on the way home. It was magical.

It is only 11 and I am turning in early for the night for once. It will be delicious to have 7-8 hours' sleep.
