Here are a few pics from the evening.
We selected some prints that made the book and had them blown up to 8X12. They look stunning. They will be on sale at the fest. All proceeds go to RAFF.

As festival photographer, you'll likely spot me in a crowd very easily. I am the one bumping into people, stumbling over things and blinding you and everyone in the room with annoying flashes.
But I am very proud to say that I was Project Manager for Asian Canada on Screen as well. It was a remarkable experience and it was a great honor to work with the book's staff and everyone involved with the text. I am very proud of it and encourage you all to come to the table set up at the fest and check it out. It's unique, it's fresh, it's Asian, it's Canadian, it's a lot of things and it's available at RAFF for purchase.
Spread the word.
