Two Hot Docs with relish, please
What can I say about our Canadian Premiere at Hot Docs in Toronto… wow. Over 700 people at our two screenings, and hundreds more turned away. This is starting to get ridiculous! I want to thank the audiences of both shows, you guys were fantastic.

There was even a militant anti-Arial protest in front of the theater, tear gas, riot police, the works.
For the people who didn’t get into the screenings, we’ll be doing a week at Toronto cinema later this summer, so please stay tuned for details. My thanks to Sean, Chris, Brett, Myrocia, and everyone at Hot Docs. I will definitely be returning to the festival in years to come. Cheers!
I also got to check out Jennifer Venditti’s documentary Billy the Kid. This film has been getting tons of buzz since it won the Best Documentary prize at South by Southwest, and after seeing it (finally… our films have been scheduled at the same showtimes in the past three festivals, so we both got to see each other’s films this weekend) I’ll just say that it’s amazing, definitely check it out if you can.

I was waiting on the rush line and they were letting people in right until I got to the front… literally! So disappointed… so close yet so far. I kept thinking, if I started waiting 15 minutes earlier I would’ve been in. But I suppose there will always be a person that get to be that lucky one. Anyway, I look forward to your next screening in Toronto.
