Imagine waking up to the sound of a group of baby ducks walking clumsily across the lawn from the river to be fed in front of the porch of a large country house on the edge of a tiny village called Sorques in which the only sigh of the connection with civilisation is a bus stop.
La Loigntaine has become the temporary headquarters of Eventival for the month of August. It was in this house that Dawna Cha and Tomas Prasek worked on the creation of the first Eventival two years ago, together with Adrian Johnson who resides in the nearby Thomery. Jan Kaltoun, then a hired gun, now Eventival's head developer, came for a few weeks, and now he's back here.
The conviction that Eventival is firmly growing to become the world's leading film festival production system remains, but many things changed since then. Eventival 2.0 is no longer a construction site, it is now a complete, comprehensive and widely-useable software solution which helps three dozens film and other festivals to get organized and - we sincerely hope - achieve better results in the fierce competition for the best films, best dates and best festival locations.
So waking up with the ducks and going to sleep when the mood stands high on the starry sky is not a duty but rather the choice. And we are thankful to La Loingtaine for giving us once again the chance to go on creating Eventival in its magic atmosphere.
