Client: Vue Weekly
Date Created: August, 2008
Edmonton, Alberta holds the largest fringe festival in all of North America. Over 130 shows are performed during the 10-day blistering circus of theatre, comedy, sideshows, and deep-fried food.
In the festivals of 2008 and 2009, Vue Weekly went out on location to the grounds and performed interviews with several acts.
In 2008, we did nine interviews. In 2009, we did 23.
The turn-around time from interview, to edit, to being online was less than 24 hours. Throughout the first few days of both fringe festivals, every single show performed was reviewed and online – and the interviews we had were right along side them.
Here's a few choice selections from both years.
