Six is quite a milestone - and we've celebrated accordingly! Hosted by our dear friends Jamie and Sarah of The Jamie and Sarah Experience Project, Cinema Spectacular 6 was serenaded by the electric sounds of local band Funny Death, and was a warm and welcoming screening for our 11 short films from across Canada! As always, we were supported by a host of the absolute best local sponsors and volunteers Vancouver has to offer - from our raffle prizes, to our red carpet, to our wonderful after-party venue Tavern at the New Oxford, our supporters set us UP in 2019. We welcomed Rheanna Toy, Tina Korki, Gloria Mercer, Meeshelle Neal, and Sydney Southam (plus their casts and crews) as attending filmmakers who participated in our post-screening Q+A. Thank YOU for such a fantastic 2019. We absolutely cannot wait until 2020!
