Philly Spotlight: VENDY AWARDS Recap 2015
Highlight: Vendy Awards Philadelphia 2015 This was my 2nd year attending the Philadelphia Vendy Awards (click for T&T 2014). And although I knew I had a big wedding to go to that evening, I still made a pig of myself and tried something from almost every booth. But how else are you going to vote honestly otherwise? The Vendy Awards is an annual (5th Annual for Philly) street food competition series that determines the “best of the best” in street food.

Philly Spotlight: “DINNER” by Aleksandra Svetlichnaya
POST UPDATE 10/31/2015 : See Full Movie – Then read interview below with filmmaker: One of the best parts of writing a film blog is that literally every post, I learn something new – sometimes it’s something I have sketchy details about that’s made clearer.

For instance, Cosplay, this is a term I was unfamiliar with till I attended the Philly preview screening of writer/director Aleksandra Svetlichnaya’s short film DINNER. Ukraine born, Philly bred, Aleksandra is a multi-talented young…
