It’s Wednesday at 4:56 PM. We are a little more than a day away from the opening night film ‘Definitely, Maybe.’ The podcast production crew has been in preparation for weeks. I think we have an incredible team of camera people, on-camera talent, and editors. Additionally, Adam Curry’s PodShow will be airing our coverage on their streaming TV channel called thePLUS. In addition to the podcast content you’ll be able to download here, they’ll also have some pre-red carpet interviews that you can’t see anywhere else. Their coverage will air 24/7 from January 25 - February 4th.
Two year’s ago the SBIFF was first film festival to offer podcast coverage from the red carpet. This year, my company, MediaTrust, will introduce another industry first - we’ll not only be providing video for your iPod, but we’ll also be the first festival to offer Hi-Definition online video of the events!
We are scheduled to interview Angelina Jolie, Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, Javier Bardem, Ryan Gosling, Abigail Breslin, Ryan Reynolds, Julie Christie, James McAvoy, Ellen Page, Casey Affleck, Amy Ryan and a ton more! If you thought last year’s coverage was star-studded, I think you’re going to be blown away this year.
Our goal is to have coverage of the previous evening’s event online by early afternoon the following day. Make sure you’ve subscribed to the RSS or entered your email address to the right so that you get our content the minute it’s available! then, feel free to comment on what you see.
I’ve got to head off to the Coffee Cat on Anacapa for our final production meeting. We’ll see you on the red carpet!

For the non-Pod enabled, we’re launching a new YouTube channel which will eventually house all the files we have on this Podstation. We hope you enjoy this new service which will allow you to enjoy all of our content online. Another way in which the PodSquad endeavors to provide classic festival moments to the community at large. Enjoy.
We are also putting these videos on iFilm, MySpace and Google Video as well as pix on Flickr.
