We photographed 360 people in 4 days. That’s under 5 minutes per person.

Truly honoured to have met so many inspiring filmmakers and film lovers at the @filmablesociety portrait studio at @viffest this year.

None of it would have been possible without a talented group of volunteers who poured hours, days (and sometimes weeks) into this.

On the photo team, huge thanks to @alicebestcreative for greeting every single person who came through and keeping the pace and energy high throughout, and to @paulalanzador, whose discerning eye carried the retouching for days on end.

Thank you to @ucoo_photo_rentals for sponsoring gear, and to @filmboldly for providing the studio.

Shout out to @geoffreymanton and @sebastiengalina for building out the entire experience before and after each portrait session, and to everyone at @filmablesociety for working tirelessly to build community in Vancouver’s film scene.

And finally, thank you to @viffest for having us, and for bringing the whole city together around film every year.
