As a fun alternative to the Oscar Awards, Virgin 95.3 FM throws an awards shindig of its own: the Fake Film Festival.
[Popcorn, anyone? At the VIP Lounge]
Last Saturday night saw a full house at Venue on Granville for the weekend’s ‘other’ most talked-about event on social media.
2013 marks the third year that amateur film makers have submitted their 60-second version of a Hollywood film for a chance at $10,000 cash, not to mention a cool trophy handed out by Virgin Radio DJs Drew Savage and Natalie Hunter of Breakfast with Nat and Drew.

Tickets were by invite only or through the radio station’s contest.
The most fun part of the evening of course was checking out all the costumes.
And the envelope, please:
Best Actress: Gigi Guerrero, Wreck it Ralph
Best Picture: Wreck it Ralph
Best Actor: Scott Fidyk, Forrest Gump
People’s Choice: Ryan Steele, Pitch Perfect
I had to miss Shawn Desman due to another event, but did get to check out Anjulie.
Here’s a round-up of the event in photos. More can be found in my Flickr set.

A big thanks to Virgin 95.3 for giving me VIP Lounge access for the evening.
