Rosie in New York

…and I do, but New York is better than anything else in the world. I know this is not a universal opinion (sorry Alex) and that’s great. Ya’ll have your perfect places, whether you know it or not, and I have mine.

Seeing New York for the first time…

The first screening

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

The first screening was great. It took place at around 5PM on the first night of the festival. Not a great time to get people inside to see movies, so we were relieved when there were at least 75 people there. Right before our screening we all got interviewed by Scholastic Press, which was pretty [...]

We came, we saw, we conquered…the Tribeca Film Festival at last!

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Well, we just don’t have enough time to write something substantial here. I’ll have to show you through our photos, what we have been up to…more soon, but suffice to say, the girls LOVE it here, I am horribly sick but still standing and we are all feeling very warmly received.

As our days in Taipei come to a close…

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

I know it’s in bad form to visit a country and talk exclusively about it’s food, but ladies and gentlemen,

Tea time

Oh, the fruit!

I can’t help it!
Fortunately for me, there are other things I can talk about. Like the evening we went to pick calla lilies from stretches of lily farms on top of Bamboo [...]

Sharing our film with Taiwanese Audiences!

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

The last few days have been packed!
Our two screenings were on Friday afternoon and Sunday evening. The hall that our film is showing in is long and narrow. They have put up two screens and two projectors that run simultaneously. The first screening was well attended and the festival organizers had everyone [...]

The continued adventures of two girls in Taipei

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

In trying to pack as much as we could into one day, we opted to run around town by ourselves yesterday. First we went to the Ximen district, where the kids hang out, eat and shop. As you can see, once again, we ate well! Potstickers, sour mango sorbet, and a restaurant that featured all [...]
