Hot Docs 2008 People Schedule

Posted on April 12, 2008 by James McNally

Before (or instead) of publishing a list of films I want to see, I thought I’d take the brave step of posting a list of names of people I want to meet from the world of film blogging. Since I have press accreditation again, I was able to see the full list of accredited media, so I know the following people will be in Toronto. If you see your name, drop me an email or comment and let’s try to meet up. Your first Hot Docs drink is on me.

And here’s a separate list of Toronto-based bloggers and film industry folks (a few of whom I’ve met already) who I’d like to spend some time with:

If I’ve left you out, and you’re in town and want to meet up, let me know. This is partially a reaction to my utter failure to connect with anyone from the film community at this year’s SXSW. Here’s hoping I’m a little more socially adventurous on my home turf. Even if I do have that day job to wake up early for.

    Sadly, I just found out that I won’t be in town for Hot Docs after all. Let me know how it goes, and we’ll catch up again soon.

    You bet James…My initial schedule was to blast completely through both weekends without a break and to miss everything in between (my wife is outta town, so it’s me and The Boy during the week), but I’d love to get together. This Friday might be good (probably have to skip a film, but sacrifices must be made…).

    Thanks for the nod! (and the invite that helped lead me to this page)

    As I mentioned, Sunday is bad, but I can be swayed on another day.

    Cheers!
