The Social Diary – and the Oscar goes to … San Diego International Film Festival!

What started as a sunny day turned into a very ‘starry’ celeb-focused night at the San Diego International Film Festival’s Oscar Viewing Party.

The event was spectacularly held at the former Junior and Gina Seau mansion high atop Mount Soledad. The expansive estate (for sale) allowed for a full supporting crowd of Oscar-dressed revelers, all there to support SDIFF’s FOCUS mission for student education to enhance their exploration of issues through film.

Toast of the night was Tonya Mantooth, CEO of SDIFF, a regional 10-time Emmy Award winner, whose bio is so lengthy I suggest a search online. Check my socials for more photos.
