I couldn't have picked a better location for my first event outside the Phoenix metropolitan area: the Saloon set at Old Tucson Studios for Wild Wild West Con III. I found myself introducing short films on the stage to a crowd sitting in seats where almost every western legend in history had shot at least one film, from John Wayne to the Three Amigos. I felt amazing! Wild Wild West Con is a dedicated steampunk convention, so all my films were steampunk films. I'd been given three 45 minute sets, one per day, so I worked from different programming for each. Day one was an entirely animated set, day two was live action and day three was a comedy and musical set, full of oddments and music videos, many of which tied into the event's special guests, such as Professor Elemental and Thomas Willeford. As with DarkCon, this was a notably international set, with films from six countries, including Russia, Norway and New Zealand (the Kiwi film was made by a man who works at Weta Workshops). Only a couple of films were made in Arizona, but I didn't have time to do a Q&A. |
