SIFF 2013

The 39th Seattle International Film Festival is officially over! *sad face* When SIFF announced that the Opening Night film was Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, my fangirl brain exploded all over the place. (Opening night tickets sold out in about 6! hours! Seattle LOVES Joss.) It was a dream for TIG to be able to be there on the red carpet, capturing the Whedonverse on film, live-tweeting the arrivals, and getting to enjoy Joss' take on Much Ado.

Our imaginary film-loving team of Embracey, Imaginary Rich, Roxie Rider, had a ton of fun rocking THE BEST SIFF YEAR EVER, bringing you news on all the shiny goodness, from shorts to features and special events. We even still have a few things coming — like more interviews! (Interviews are hard to transcribe, you guys. Seriously) And a few more photos. YAY!

But for the most part, we said goodbye to SIFF 2013 on Sunday, June 9 at the Closing Night Gala with Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, and a couple of shots of Sparkle Donkey (yes. that's the name) tequila! Read about everything we saw below!

Until next year, SIFF. We ♥ you!
