Looking for a fun time tonight? Hit the Hero Tomorrow Pre-Party!

From 9 pm to midnight, you can hang out with the cast and crew of Hero Tomorrow at the View Ultra Lounge Nightclub at 618 Prospect Avenue, and then head for the midnight screening! There will even be free salsa-dancing lessons from 9 to 10. I may try to head over there, myself! Make sure to take your Film Festival pass or ticket stub to get free admission.

I'd recommend buying your tickets for the film before you go, though, because the midnight screenings proved so hugely popular last year that they've been made a regular part of the Festival, and word is they can fill up fast. If it does fill up, there's also the Midnight Shorts Program 1, which is enormously fun and very popular, too.

Midnight a little too late for you? Me too; I've been going since six this morning! But the 9:00 round is full of spectacular films, and none of them have gone on Standby yet. The round will kick off at 9:30 with Looking For Leonard, followed by screenings of Dingo and Liquid Vinyl at 9:45. Then at 10:00, Angosto and Glue start up. That's five incredible films and three great Filmmaker Q&A opportunities!

Taylor Neary and George Reasner will be available to answer questions about Liquid Vinyl once the film finishes. Matthew Bissonnette, our Someone To Watch Director, will answer questions after the conclusion of Looking For Leonard. This is your big chance to meet someone who's going to go far. And if you didn't get a chance to converse with Rolf de Heer earlier today, he'll be answering questions again after Dingo.

One way or another, the good time you're looking for can be found here tonight!

Insider Tip: If you're coming downtown tomorrow for the screenings, I can't stress this enough: either come early or park at one of the RTA parking lots and ride the train in. Downtown is going to be crazy tomorrow with the St. Patrick's Day parade, and the parking lots and garages are going to fill up fast. We have fantastic movies for you to see, though, so you won't be disappointed unless you stay away. And as I said earlier, Producer's Pass holders are entitled to free valet parking no matter what, so maybe it's time to upgrade your membership, or even get one for the first time.

Have a wonderful night, everybody! I'll have lots more to tell you about tomorrow!
