Filmmakers On The Mooove

Wow, there’s a lot of moooving and shaking in the local film scene right now. Not one, but three Newfoundland films have made it into the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival [1], including Jordan Canning (producer/director) and Jody Richardson's (writer) short drama Bedroom, Rhonda Buckley (producer) and Sherry White's (writer/director) short drama Spoiled and Newfound Films (producer Anna Petras and director Justin Simms) and Joel Hynes/Sherry White's (writers) feature film Down To The Dirt. These films, among others from the province, are also screening at the Atlantic Film Festival [2] in Halifax, among other festivals.

Do you have any film and festival news to share?

Also, be sure to check out Emily Bridger’s short, Epilogue and interview here on moovy.ca [3]. Emily’s an emerging filmmaker from St. John’s, now living in Toronto. You may have seen it already at The Nickel [4] in June, but did you know it screened a few weeks ago in Montreal’s YoungCuts [5] as well? Silver moovy hats off to our stellar filmmakers!
