Time for some summer fun. This summer has been full of fun. Last week I attended the Manhattan Film Festival where Dani Zarendieta's film MET in NYC had it's US Premiere. I was Assistant Director and Co-Producer (and BTS Photographer) on that film and it was such a memorable experience in so many ways. It's always wonderful to see a film you worked on come to life on the big screen and hear the audience react and laugh.
The beach is such a huge element missing from my life these days, I also made the trek out to Coney Island for the Mermaid Parade. This is an event where people get dressed up in all sorts of sea themed costumes and strut their stuff along the seaside promenade. There are also plenty of muscle cars showing off too. I must say it's a much more savoury event than the Hot Dog Eating Competition they run on 4th July. Although there was one fishy female who wasn't wearing any pants!
I also ticked a couple of NYC bucket list items off my list, including a drink at The Boat House in Central Park as well as a row, row, row your boat on the lake.
