It's not every day you get to honor a legend. BIFF was incredibly thrilled to have Tim Burton and his longtime friend and film composer, Danny Elfman, at our 2023 Awards Gala. With the City of Burbank, we proudly declared that day, September 24th, "Tim Burton Day" in recognition of the iconic filmmaker born and raised there. 🕷️
The Burbank Marriott Convention Center was transformed into a Burton-esque setting with 'Beetlejuice'-striped tablecloths and a private lounge designed by David Rodgers, complete with some of Tim's favorite Burbank specialties, like milkshakes from Bob's Big Boy and Hot Dog on a Stick.
After receiving his honor, Tim sat down for a career retrospective with Scott Feingerg of the Hollywood Reporter's 'Awards Chatter' podcast.
Burton's relationship with BIFF began in 2022 when he agreed to lend his name to the Tim Burton Visionary Award. This award annually recognizes a local Burbank filmmaker who shows unique imagination and creativity.
We are still on cloud nine that Tim was a part of this year's festival, and we are excited to continue honoring his filmmaking legacy with the Tim Burton Visionary Award for years to come! 🕸️
