05 Jun Wild Women in Film and Television
The Vancouver film industry is full of Wild Women and they know how to celebrate! Tracey Bell was thrilled to perform for some of them when she hosted Women In Film and Television’s 25th Anniversary Spotlight Awards Gala on April 30th .
This was a party unlike the corporate events Tracey usually performs at. The audience was not at all reserved or inhibited. They bounced in their seats and screamed like crazed Beatles fans throughout Tracey’s impersonations. They laughed loudly and cheered for Tracey and their colleagues.
Horror film revolutionaries, Sylvia Soska and her Twisted Twin Jen Soska,thanked Tina Turner when they accepted their Artistic Innovation Award. They had no idea that Tina would be one of the celebrities being impersonated later in the evening.
The Twisted Twins’ films have received multiple national and international awards, especially at horror-related festivals. Celine Dion introduced the award presenter, Peter Allen, who has composed music for over 100 films.
At the end of the show. Tracey brought the legendary director, Anne Wheeler on stage to play guitar and saxophone for her Tina Turner ‘Simply The best” routine. Sylvia Soska rocked out on guitar beside Anne. It was a wonderful evening.
