Last week I attended the Press Launch of the 2012 Seattle International Film Festival at Seattle's UPTOWN Theater. Special Guest Included Oscar Winner and Seattle-native and Western Washington University graduate, TJ Martin, who co-directed 'Undefeated', winner of Best Documentary Feature.
Martin Posed for Pictures with his OSCAR and he was just as attractive in person as he was on TV. Later I ran into Martin in the washroom and he was very interested in stories of where people watched the Oscars. I mentioned I was at the Big Gay Oscar Party at the Cinerama.
The purpose of the event was Preview the upcoming Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), the largest and best-attended festival in the U.S.,Your Sister’s Sister the opening film to be presented at the festival’s prestigious Opening Night Gala, Thursday, May 17, 2012. The film marks SIFF’s first opening selection locally produced and shot by a Seattle filmmaker. SIFF takes place May 17 through June 10.
