The Closing Night Gala and Silent Auction was full of beautiful people, art and good food. It was held at Miami Art Space in the Wynwood/Design District of Miami. (Still looks like a "hood" to me, though there are some nice galleries, stores and restaurants popping up in the area).
The awards for the Film Festival were announced during the event and are as follows: JURY AWARDS: Best Feature: "The Edge of Heaven" Best Documentary: "Chris and Don: A Love Story". AUDIENCE AWARDS: Best Feature: "The World Unseen". Best Short: " Who I Am". Best Documentary: "My Name Is Troy".
The night ended with the closing of the Silent Auction and DJ music playing. There were many interesting pieces of Art that I enjoyed seeing... The services offered during the auction ranged from massages, Winter Party passes, hotel stays, restaurant passes, gym memberships, weekend at a house in the keys, even the use of a "head hunter" service. There was also a diamond ring, silver bracelet, Prada Sun Glasses, Ferragamo tie and scarf, designer lamps and lighting and Vintage Movie Posters. I know some bidders went home happy.
Kendall, Mr S. and I were some of the few male volunteers at the event, but we had a great time.....and the Absolut at the end of the night helped a bit too...Afterwards, we headed to TWIST to wish Pussila a "Happy Birthday". Her Mom and sister were there. We did the quick tour and then headed home to pass out from the long day.
