Premiere night!

It was a dark and stormy Sunday night, complete with city-wide power outages and crackling skies.
A perfect occasion to huddle indoors around a movie screen with a lapful of popcorn, a glass of wine…and an enthusiastic audience of friends, family and local cinephiles.

The exclusive, one-night-only event featured an intimate concert with Whitehorse (Luke Doucet +  Melissa McClelland) who wrote and performed the original soundtrack for the film.

Also, for the first time in the history of the Bloor Cinema (and a very rare occurrence anywhere), the film was projected with a closed-circuit descriptive video broadcast (via personal headphones) for the visually-impaired audience.  After the show, the filmmakers participated in an open-mic Q+A, followed by an open-bar reception…

After 6 months of round-the-clock editing, we had picture lock. Whitehorse composed and performed original music for the film’s soundtrack. The film was delivered to the broadcaster in early October. We hope to present the film in film festivals worldwide prior to the television broadcast. Stay tuned for screening dates and show announcements.

Editing the film and recording the music.
