Whistler Film Festival Guest List

I just received the guest list for the Whistler Film Festival. It starts on December 3rd.  Looks like the guest list is shaping up nicely. If I was a DIVA who worked in PR, I would see about setting up some kind of gifting lounge up there to showcase my clients’ products. It’s fresh territory. No one is doing it there yet.
