Weekly Check-In #7

As adults who are learning to problem solve, we also must learn to adapt to specific changes. This past week, I was assigned a new Video-Race co-coordinator: Jessica Jackson. I'm very excited to be working with her on the Video Race and can't wait to see what ideas we can collaborate on and what assets she can bring to the table! Currently, we are trying to find a sponsor that can donate some sort of the prize for the video race. Previously, Fanboy Comics was the V5 sponsor and had donated some comic books. My ideal sponsor for this year would have to be Defy Gravity if they are willing. I called yesterday, but unfortunately could not make contact with the manager. I'm calling them again today in the hopes that I can get an answer. If not, our back-up ideas for sponsors are: Game Giant, Nerdvana, or Fanboy Comics again as a last resort. I'm also excited to announce that we will be launching our registration on March 8th! With that being said, there is still a lot of work to be done, such as finishing our budget as well as acquiring the necessary props, and of course we still have to secure our location. We are calling Kimberly (Pam Elliot's assistant) daily in the hopes that she will get back to us ASAP. If this does not pan out within 3-5 days, I will ask Dave to step in and provide his assistance regarding the matter. In other news, we've finished finalizing our films and I'm very excited to see which filmmakers we bring in and I can't wait for our panel! Everybody has been working so hard and it's so incredible to see everything coming together. Less than two months until this festival happens, so crazy how much we've accomplished in such a short amount of time!
