Super excited for this weekend opening of my partner Tyler's NFB Interactive Doc "Similkimeen Crossroads."
The opening will be happening on Oct.18th at Gallery 44 in the 401 Richmond St. Building in Toronto. The opening is going to be extra awesome because it will feature some beautiful prints of the photography used in the doc as well as some 16mm footage projected (shot by yours truly), and music by the very gifted Eric Powell. The site will launch that day so take a break from your daily grind to check out what Tyler's been chipping away at all year.

Transatlantic Talent Lab
Just got back from a whirlwind visit to Iceland with my good friend and colleague Liz Cairns (of Gentlemen Bandits) and our long lost collaborator, the incorrigible DP and Director Derek Howard, where we spent the last week participating in the Transatlantic Talent Lab at the Reykjavik International Film Festival.
Though we didn't have much time off from the lab to see films, from what we did see, the festival programming was really strong, and I managed to catch some great ones by Laurent Cantet and Daniel Dencik, as well as Lukas Moodyson's "We are the Best!" which would charm even the sourest of souls. "The Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear" by Georgian filmmaker Tinatin Gurchiani was another captivating watch. We did get to sneak into the country, up the east coast for a couple of days, and the landscape was pretty unreal.
And yes we saw Bjork and went to the blue lagoon, which may be touristy but it sure is relaxing as heck. To conclude: Go to Iceland! You'll love it.

Withering Heights!
We're proud to have been a part of another wonderful film shoot last week with the Gentleman Bandits and "A Land That Forgets" cinematographer Knesha Yu!
It was great to get back on set again with all the old crew.
Keep an eye out for this one, coming soon to a festival near you:

Atlantic Film Festival!!
GCP is proud to announce that A Land That Forgets will be screening at this year's Atlantic Film Festival! If you happen to be on the east coast in September, or have any east coast friends, you can find our screening time and dates here. We do have some free passes to give away, so do let us know if you can make it.
And in celebration of this lovely news, we have a little clip to share. Wonder how we got the canoe under all that ice? Take a look at some top secret behind the scenes footage of the very talented Chris Mennell working his magic. Shot on super8 by post-supervisor extraordinaire Tyler Hagan.
P.S. As you can tell, our new website is now up and running!

MIFFEST!
Just a quick announcement to say that ALTF (a new abbrev I'm trying out) will be screening here in Toronto at this year's Moving Images Festival on October 15th!!
It will be a part of the Moving Image Showcase category, which I'm really grateful for, because it allows the film, sorry, I mean the video to be viewed in an alternative context (a more appropriate context I believe, for this particular work, than that of your standard short film program).
This, the context, is something my co-producer Meghan and I have been thinking about with regards to our work... you know, what influence does it have on our perception... We'll soon find out how this particular framing alters audience reaction, or if it does at all.
Anywho, I don't know too much about this festival, but I really love their mandate, and I'm excited to see how our little film is received in the big TO.
The exact screening time is not yet announced but I believe it will be in the Annex Live Theatre at 296 Brunswick Ave. More details to come.
