Too many friends on Facebook? Tired of reading their updates about their cat’s latest spell of gout or how they put too much salt on their burrito? Go ahead. Unfriend them. I won’t tell.

Step 2: Try not to barf at the criminal greed of the oil and gas industry.
Step 3: Do something to stop the drilling for Natural Gas in a neighbourhood near you. Or far from you. Or anywhere at all. Otherwise, one day your water will be flammable.

My dad and my little documentary, pilgrIMAGE, is premiering in Montreal at my favourite film festival, the Festival du Nouveau Cinema.

We shot it when I was just a wee young thing of 19, so it’s pretty embarrassing but if you’re curious, come check it out! I’d love some company.

Your options:

Ex-centris
Thursday Oct 8 at 3:15 pm
Friday Oct 16 at 7:15 pm

Cinema du Parc
Sunday Oct 18 at 2:45 pm

And please pass this invite along to any and all documentary fans you know!

Also, check out some of my thoughts on the FNC and a review of pilgrIMAGE by John Griffin in The Gazette.

Over three years in the making, the feature road-trip doc I have been producing with my dad, pilgrIMAGE, is finally finished! It’s premiering at IDFA this week in Amsterdam, so if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, check it out. I unfortunately won’t be able to make it, as I’m trying to be ecologically responsible and avoid air travel, but Peter Wintonick will be there to answer any questions and/or have a beer with you.
