More than once since arriving at @tiff_net, I’ve

More than once since arriving at @tiff_net, I’ve been asked what’s my main reason for attending? And I get it. I do a little bit of everything, and being self-employed, it’s not like my boss is sending me as part of my job…

…except she is. I am. I made a decision fifteen years ago that I wanted to do work that involved being at film festivals, because this is a part of the industry I love so much.

So yes, as CEO of @brightirisfilmco, I send our top gal (also me) to a few fests each year, with or without a client in the mix, to connect with clients I only ever see on Zoom, build my network of colleagues and peers, and put myself in the path of professional serendipity, bumping into folks in line or at screenings.

But also? Also I just LOVE MOVIES. I’m a movie person, always have been. And if I’m coming all this way and working all these long days, I’m absolutely going to treat myself to the glitz of a few great films, too.

So if you see me tucking into a seat at a premiere and wonder what exactly I’m doing here, yes - it’s work. And yes, it’s also what I love. I am so lucky.

“Let’s play two!” Wrapped up summer concert

“Let’s play two!”

Wrapped up summer concert season in the most Chicago of ways: @pearljam at #WrigleyField. My only regret is that we didn’t go to Night One. Eddie and crew still absolutely bring it, and between the big ones and the new ones we got some very cool ones, too (Falling Slowly acoustic with @glenhansard?! Wow.).

Been to more concerts this summer than any before this and I gotta say, I could get used to it. #pearljam #chicago #summerconcerts #concertsatwrigley #wrigleyfield #summerinchicago

Stella girl has been struggling the last couple weeks and cat moms know when something’s up…one @dukeanimalhospital visit later and she’s on antibiotics for a UTI! She’s on pain meds, too…and I think she’s enjoying them!

Pro tip: instead of getting an early start, head to @mortonarb at sunset for gorgeous views and zero crowds. We enjoyed a picnic dinner then walked through the Grand Garden, positively glowing at golden hour. #sunset #sunday #goldenhour #mortonarboretum

Oh, what a night! 🎉

When @jraavel throws a party, you dress up and you show up! Thanks for the chance to get dolled up and dance the night away, all to celebrate YOU!

My Olympics! 🏅 Ok not really, but I’m still

My Olympics! 🏅

Ok not really, but I’m still SO proud of myself. I finished my first ever 5k, Uptown’s Dim Sum and Then Some (and yes, there was dim sum at the finish line!). First. Ever! What took me so long?!

All my life I’ve held a belief about myself, one that I’m “not athletic,” not an athlete or physically active or anything close to it.

But maybe that’s changing?? I’m not becoming a marathoner (I don’t think!) anytime soon, but I have spent the last year getting in better shape than I’ve ever been in and have been fascinated to see the changes, slow and steady, physically and otherwise. And I’m not done yet!

I surprised myself by getting pretty emotional as I ran across the finish line. It was like all those ways I used to define myself were left behind me, left on the course and not my burden to carry anymore. All I could think about was what I may actually be capable of, not what’s holding me back.

Here’s to crossing the finish line, redefining ourselves, and leaving it all on the course. 💪

The annual @dinerenblancchicago is quickly becomin

The annual @dinerenblancchicago is quickly becoming a favorite summer tradition! This year’s event was held in the heart of Lincoln Park, a true picnic dreamscape with a sea of white and in the middle of lush green lawns. High fashion off and on the runway; delicious catering, picnics and wine; celebrations and socializing galore - just a beautiful experience from start to finish! 🧺🥂🥖

In October 2022, some of my favorite people joined me in Paris for a milestone birthday and we spent one whole day on a tour through the grounds and palace at Versailles. Even then, our guide showed us the work already begun to prepare the grounds for the @paris2024 #Olympics and the equestrian events that would take place there. And it’s finally happening! So cool to watch the Opening Ceremonies unfold across the heart of the city and see Versailles transform into a destination for all sorts of memorable events. Cheers to all the athletes! #paris2024 #versailles #palaceofversailles #paris #memories #thenandnow
