Attended the Whistler Film Festival last weekend which is held in the main Whistler village amidst the beautiful surroundings of the snow capped mountains. If you can’t get to Sundance then Whistler is your best bet and for us local filmmakers – it’s literally in our back yard. I’m was there with my buddy Don Fiorvento, an actor and hope to be a producer but happy as a lawyer.

The festival has been on both of our bucket lists and so finally this year we made it up there. The festival is small but if offers up some big events like the prestigious Variety’s 10 Screenwriters to watch panel, which was a really delight for me as a filmmaker and screenwriter.

The Hollywood bible Variety brought up 5 of the their Top 10 Screenwriters to watch, including a few of my favourites – Todd Komarnicki who wrote the Tom Hanks starring and Clint Eastwood directed Sully and Jonas Cuaron who wrote Desierto and Gravity with his famous director Dad Alfonso Cuaron. Great insight from the top writers in the Hollywood Game and this is where all cinema comes from – the Writers.
