A ★★★★ review of One Man (1977) 356: Solid thriller from the NFB about a journalist who stumbles onto a high powered story about kids getting sick from a dirty factory in Montreal. I really dug this one. It’s gritty, and the politic...

Nice to see Gordon Pinsent getting some special treatment.

Yay. This was so much fun to work on and I am so excited to see this announcement!

I am so excited to finally be able to tell everyone that I provide a commentary for this AMAZING neo-noir that only aired once in the US, as part of the Wide World of Mystery. It's terrific and has a fascinating history, which made me love the film even more. Such a unique release. Deets below:

In addition to scorching new art from @studioralston.bsky.social, this disc includes a new audio commentary featuring @madefortvmayhem.bsky.social, a comparison of the film's three cuts, three classic NFB films from director Douglas Jackson, a press gallery, a double-sided poster, and more!

The new restoration of the Queer Canadian classic WINTER KEPT US WARM is playing at the Metrograph this weekend. Definitely go check that out if you're in New York.

Was a thrill to work with @cipictures.bsky.social on the cover art (and title treatment) for The Devil At Your Heels, a super enjoyable 1981 documentary about seasoned Canadian stunt driver Ken Carter, looking back at his career as he dreams and schemes to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Winter Kept Us Warm (1965) It is the 1960s at the University of Toronto. Doug is a well-liked senior with an equally popular girlfriend. Peter is a shy Finnish freshman who is new to the big city. The two become best friends an...

Watch our new trailer for WINTER KEPT US WARM now!

If you like Eastbound and Down, or Trailer Park Boys, or Anvil: the Story of Anvil, you need to see this. There’s even a guy named Kenny Powers.

I saw this film at Cornwall community college when it first came out! Also, the ramp that Ken Carter used for his jump was there for many years -- I guess it is gone by now. Yes I really want to see this again.

Good movie alert

Breaking news! This disc includes Becky Shrimpton's episode of the podcast as a special feature!

Isn't that cool? We think it's cool.

This disc also features a new restoration of the film from the NFB. Special thanks to The Ken Carter Preservation Society for its contributions to the disc!
