It occurred to me last night; 12 years ago was the first time I set foot into Pacific Cinematheque where I saw my first VIFF film that marked my first film festival experience. I wouldn’t of imagined, over a decade later, I would be watching my own film at the same venue in the same film festival where I first fell in love with cinema.
