July 2007 is sooooooo last year

Part of the challenge of being a freelancer is that one needs to always look ahead. Not only do I have to secure my lineup for TIFF for this coming September, but I'll have to look beyond that. I've been toying with the idea of heading to San Sebastian (mid-September) and Rome (mid-October). I've put the feelers out on some of my clients who are waiting for official invitations. Two films I've recently repped have a good chance of going to San Sebastian; so this may be a good opportunity to open business to other international film fests. And to travel, of course. Also thinking beyond 2007. Wondering whether I should skip Sundance and head to Rotterdam instead. Someone a bit psychic once told me that I live too much in the future and need to live more in the present. A bit of a tough call when your bread and butter (or architectural home renos) depends on living somewhat in the future.
