ALL SET

Everything is now ready. I have bought a cute little dress off ebay but it still hasn't arrived yet...hopefully it will come tomorrow, if not i have a reserve. I bought lights to light up the 1960's shelves where i am displaying Sindy and have placed maglights at the bottom of each Sindy stand to lighten the dancers slightly. The Sindys really look good amongst the performance, i'm glad i went with the idea. We had a dress rehearsal yesterday, everything is great and I am pleased with the dancers and grateful for their commitment!!
I put an auction on ebay last week to advertise my show as there are a lot of Sindy fans who look at the posts, so hopefully a few may come and see how big Sindy is!!! I am going to film the performances to do DVDs for the dancers and so I have a hard copy of the results. I was going to film it yesterday but the room wasn't clear of stuff so I didnt bother.
All I need to do now is relax until I get really nervous tomorrow!!!

Hi Carla,

in 2009 you submitted your film TorMENture to The Strawberry Fair Film
Festival http://tinyurl.com/2vl7wm5 , which is now know as Strawberry
Shorts.

This year Strawberry Shorts has been invited to run the film marquee @
Fordham Fest http://www.fordhammusicfest.org which is a festival near
Cambridge, that runs on the 6th, 7th and 8th of August.

Can we have permission to screen your film TorMENture in the
Strawberry Shorts film marquee @ Fordham Fest on the 6th, 7th and 8th
of August 2010?

Background:
Strawberry Shorts is the film festival of Strawberry Fair and was
founded in 2001. Although Strawberry Fair has been stopped
http://tinyurl.com/2wfojgc for this year, it is still our intention to
run the film festival at some date in September, yet to be confirmed.

Strawberry Fair http://tinyurl.com/ryp5f3 is Europe's largest
volunteer-run not-for-profit one-day annual festival of music and
arts. It has run on the first Saturday of June for 37 year, on
Midsummer Common in the heart of Cambridge. View a potted history of
Strawberry Fair by John Clements here http://tinyurl.com/2748p9y . A
selection of short films about Strawberry Fair can be viewed here
http://tinyurl.com/3xpcrwl the first from 1977, the last from 2007, a
span of 30 years.

Many thanks
Simon Mullen
