CRUNCH TIME!
I know, I've been like a ghost. But, I'm back! My apologies; things are INSANE!!!
Some Highlights:
NYILFF SPONSORSHIP
As of yesterday, I'm finally done! After about 10 months of effort, I locked in 3 new sponsors in 2 days... 2 weeks before the event. Wha what?? That's totally bizarre. I couldn't be more excited... or buried under work.
NYILFF PROGRAMMING
In the last-minute, we secured the film "Gun", directed by Jessy Terrero and co-written by and starring 50 Cent.. WHO'S ATTENDING THE FESTIVAL. Holla! That's crazy, y'all.
NYILFF GENERAL
We're working on locking in after-venues, securing musical talent, designing, approving and printing tons of creative (collateral and signage), setting up box office, organizing volunteers, sending out press releases and planning the overall PR strategy, planning sponsor activation and coordinating deliverables, selling tickets, setting up online promotions and offline street teams, aggregating RSVP lists for various events, delivering print ads, putting together panels, collecting films, communicating with participating filmmakers, conducting tons of venue walk-throughs, etc.etc.etc. I swear - film fests are mad crazy. Oh and I still have nothing to wear on the red carpet. Who has time to worry about that?! Sheesh.
NYILFF CATALOG
FINALLY, the baby went to print. Holy smokes - that, in and of itself, was a bear. I worked all weekend on it.
ELLIOT LOVES
We're planning a private event for next week (sponsored by Hennessy Privilege!) so I've been dealing with that. We had a venue walk-through last night and it's hot! Foundation - 137 Essex Street (1.5 blocks below Houston). foundationnyc.com
And, check out this delish specialty cocktail:
Hennessy VSOP Royal Privilege
Created by: Hennessy
1.5 oz Hennessy Privilege V.S.O.P
¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Ginger Ale
5 Ice Cubes
LOTTERY MAN
Matt is hard at work writing the Mood Book, which I'll receive on Friday. Over the weekend, I need to pull it all together and give it some sort of design. We've also started outreach for fundraising. Got any money??

Check out this hilarity! The geniuses at GlobalHue Latino created this hysterical :10 teaser for our ad campaign. Love it!
You can view the full film, written by Margarita Jimeno and directed by Tony Kaye, on July 12!
NYILFF TEASER
Beyond that, I'm totally sweating in this hot-a** office and the work just keeps coming. My to-do list (yes, I actually write a list...) seems to grow geometrically.
Tomorrow AM, we're heading uptown with our friends from HBO to St. Nicholas Park to check out the space for our free outdoor screening on July 26 (rain date August 2!). HBO is coming along because we're presenting an HBO Documentary Film called El Espiritu De Salsa. It's going to be an awesome event, so bring your whole family and enjoy a beautiful, free film in the park!

Updates All Around...
NYILFF
Good News: The schedule is officially set! Woo-hoo! Congrats to the entire programming team; it's a bear of a job and you did it!
Bad News: A sponsor dropped out this AM. Ughhhh!!! They changed their strategy and decided to activate in October vs. July. I'm hoping we can salvage the relationship by customizing an event for them in October, but, for now, it's done. Massive bummer.
Encouraging News: A new potential sponsor has come to the table (we're looking to chat on Friday) and we're still waiting on 2 others. Keep the faith, people! I refuse to give up!!
ELLIOT LOVES
I can finally announce that Hennessy Prestige is Elliot Loves' newest, very generous sponsor. Thank you, Manny! Can't wait for the event in July.
LOTTERY MAN
I officially hired Lina as our casting director! Yay! We (Thomas, Matt, Lina and I) are meeting next week to kick off discussions re:packaging the film, creating a 'look book' and refining our target list for the male and female leads. Freakin' awesome!
