Jim Munroe releases his first sci-fi novel in 20 years and there's only 165 copies, each with custom covers. NATURALLY.
Looks like it's about about game designers who create a shared NPC—and kick off the singularity. ❤️ it.

I was lucky enough to tour with it to Korea and Beijing, commemorated in this little ebook about giving an R-rated film workshop to 75 Korean schoolchildren. So panic inducing:

Just watched The Storyville Mosquito by @kidkoala w my 8 yr old and her brain exploded in wonderhouse fashion. Old-school theatre new-school tech puppetry turntable magic. A standing O in T.O. - who woulda thunk. Highly recommend this weekend

Banshees of Inisherin is terrific. Other standouts I caught at #TIFF22: Woman King, Venus, The Blackening. Heard good things about The Whale, Brother, The Menu, The Swimmers. Such a delight to watch movies on the big screen again

Can't wait to see this doc come together--terrific story.

We're almost done the Rough Cut of Kairos - the documentary I've been directing about a quilter's quest for justice after her brother is shot by the RCMP. Here's a few stills cause I'm really feeling that sense of making progress on this thing. (shot by the Immortal @tateyoung)
ALT A magazine photo of Barry Shantz in Vancouver, staring out at us with a joint, defiant.
ALT A rose patterned quilt hangs on the wall in the foreground of a hallway that falls into shadow. In the room at the end of a hall a woman sits by a desk lamp.
ALT Quilter Marilyn Farquhar sits looking at something off screen - that appears to bring bad news.

Composer @Adrian_Ellis pulls apart his piano and plays it with fishing wire -- one of my favourite moments in his creative process

That’s not how you play a piano! Adrian describes the interesting discoveries that emerged from his sonic experiments.

For filmmakers who've been doing the 'virtual festivals' with a film for the last 8 months, seeing it with an audience (in cars) at a drive-in was crazy fulfilling. Would recommend 10/10

Thanks to the @HamiltonFilm fest for the stellar drive-in screening last night -- so much fun to finally see it on the big screen, and under the stars to boot.

A punchy short film I wrote about boxer Sam Langford premieres at the @BostonFilmFest tonight. Sam was the toughest boxer you’ve never heard of—fighting over 600 bouts in the early 1900s—with a crazy secret. Congrats to director @JMIV and crew! thechronicleherald.ca/lifest…

Jennifer Garner with some serious love for focus pullers. A charming minute on the 'dance' of production
