Wholphin

In between the stellar shorts programs at this year’s Cinevegas Film Festival, we joined the former and new SXSW festival heads, Matt Dentler and Janet Pierson, respectively, at the blackjack table (see photo). Janet bet her husband that she wouldn’t gamble, but like a pro went on to teach us all a lesson, raking in $200 in half an hour.

It must also be mentioned that Cinevegas easily took home this year’s top festival schwag bag award with Nalgenes to keep us hydrated, custom-made band aids and hangover pills to keep us stylishly wide-eyed, and Grey Goose vodka which, unable to carry it on the airplane, we gave away to a nice cab driver on our way out of town.  

Endless thanks to festival programmers, Trevor Groth and Mike Plante who, as always, put on a damn good show.
