Appl HOME EQU Boarder Chick set for festival THE short film Boarder Chick, by 19- year-old filmmaker Daren Tiljoe, will be shown as part of the film festival on Friday, Feb. 25. Tiljoe shot the davdreant segment of the production on Super8 film and the rest on digital video. After he hand-processed the film in a bucket at the Gulf Islands Film and ion School (GIFTS), he learned how to scratch/ animate a skate board onto the 24-frar per-second celluloid. He then videotaped the itv-based part and com- bined both segments using a non-tinear edit suite and this highly creazive shore film. Fellow student Amanda Murphy (from Whistlee) plays the lead role. Tiljoe completed this project in one week during a month- long Independent Media Producer’s Program st GIFTS in November 1999. The film can be seen at Feb. 25-March 5 or at the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival, 7 p.m. Friday Feb. 25 at the Centennial Theatre.
