It’s a star-studded event with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars making an appearance in Calgary and no, it’s not for Stampede. Entourage star Adrian Grenier, along with Evan Ferrante are in town to showcase their film and tour Teenage Paparazzo at the Glenbow Museum this Saturday, July 16.
It’s not very often you get to go to a movie and then rub elbows with the famous names who made it.
The Teenage Paparazzo tour has tickets up for grabs that get you into a Q&A session, VIP reception, or movie screening with Grenier and Ferrante.
So how much are tickets? Typically something like this goes for a few hundred in this city, but hold onto your cowboy hats… tickets ranging from $20 to $40 and are available on madflower.zoobis.com.
Making this event happen is Nico Bacigalupo of Madflower Creative Group, who met up with Ferrante in cowtown earlier this year.
“When he came to visit our city for the first time, we connected and spoke about a bigger picture of working together,” says Bacigalupo.
“Teenage Paparazzo at that point was a film project, but Evan offered my company the opportunity to handle the Canadian tour. It was a perfect fit, and from there came the snowball effect of community support.”
Community support indeed; Bacigalupo brought together everyone from local favourites to international names. Camilla di Giuseppe is hosting the red carpet while Oscar-nominated actress and songstress Juliette Lewis is performing at the VIP party, but Bacigalupo insists this event came together in a few short months because of the one thing Calgary is famous for: hospitality.
“Meeting Evan made things happen organically, and offered the opportunity for our event team to bring Calgary one of the hottest experiences during the week of Stampede,” says Bacigalupo, who planned events in Hollywood for years, but returned home to Calgary.
“Having thrown events and been in the industry as long as I have, I just want to say how proud I am to call Calgary my home. Our city boasts some of the most ambitious and creative visionaries.”
It’s safe to say, Bacigalupo is chief among them.
