As unaccustomed as I am to public speaking…

Where have we been lately?

August 24th, 2011 by alex

I know, we aren’t updating the blog as much as I would like lately. What gives? Well, its the Film Festival and it has taken off like I could have never imagined. Its just a short 5 weeks away. We have been able to pull off some amazing sponsors and partnerships; Apple, Dolby, Adobe, Technicolor, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, Martin Scorsese Film Foundation, just to name a few. The main crew was just 5 of us and we have since hired 13 additional seasonal staff. Our office fits in well with the Palo Alto start-up culture; dogs, sisters, babies, random curious film lovers passing through. I have had to break down my awkward public speaking barrier and speak at Universities, Rotary Clubs, local schools, Intel, Netflix, etc. and the reception has been amazing. Everyone loves a Film Festival. So fingers crossed it all goes well and then we are off to AUSTRALIA for a whole month! So great ready for awesome Aussie road tripping pics as we travel the coast of Queensland starting Oct. 15. For more info on the Festival – http://www.paiff.net.

 

 

  1. Good work Alex. Sounds a familiar trip. Suddenly it all grows and everyone wants to own a piece of the action and it feels fantastic. Then there’s all these jobs to do you’ve never done before and somehow you find you can do them and, lickety split, there’s more to do and you just keep at it. Fantastic adrenalin kick. Go get ’em girl!

Pagie and I are very proud of Mumma. Click the picture for the article:

Yes, she can!

Page walked last night. Five or six steps between Momma and Dadda. Did it a few times with a big grin on her face.

We will provide photographic evidence when GranMumma works out how to turn on her camera…

A Carmel Weekend w/ Grandma

July 31st, 2011 by alex

 

On the way back from the Farmer’s Market, we stopped off at Epi for a free cup of water.

Birthday present ideas, anyone?

We stopped off at one of NorCal’s nicest beaches and the sand was so soft!

Dad and Page soaking in the sights.

Taking a dip in the freezing cold water, Page didn’t seem to notice.

Awwww! Someone around to take a pic of us 🙂

Late night shenanigans at the cottage rental. Too much excitement to go to sleep.

Stopped off at the Corkscrew Restaurant for some of Carmel Valley’s finest.

The Gibson’s. So cute.

Grandma having a wine sampler.

Tractor ride from vineyard to vineyard

  1. Great images of your weekend away.
