Don't worry; everything is going to be pretty okay.
Calgary filmmaker Alex Mitchell just dropped the trailer for his new short film, Reproduction.
I really like the premise of this film and the execution of the idea, as seen in the trailer, is pretty stellar. So check it out below, team!
Looks like Brain, Heart, Super8 will be showing on the big screen once more.
The film will being showing as part of a Calgary Society for Independent Filmmakers‘ Members Night in honour of the society’s 30th Anniversary.
If you’re in Calgary on August 16th at 4:30 pm, come by the Plaza Theatre in Kensington for some great short films by local filmmakers!
And because I spent ten minutes cutting it and want to get my time’s worth out of it, here is the trailer for Brain, Heart, Super8.
I just got word that Dickfore will be doing three screenings in Germany as part of the Low & No Budget VideoFilmFestival Tour 2009!
So if you’re in Stuttgart or Mainz, Germany, go check out the festival. Screening details below.

For everyone, like me, who won’t be able to make it to Germany, I tracked down three films that will also be shown at the festival with Dickfore and I’ve embedded them below. It’s almost like we’re there!
Chema García Ibarra’s The Attack of the Robots from Nebula 5
Evelien Lohbeck’s Noteboek

On Tuesday, June 14th at 7 pm, I will be curating a film in the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers’ Classic Film series.
The Classic Film Series is an event run on the second Tuesday of every month. A curator chooses a feature film from the CSIF’s library (all of which are classic films on 16mm donated by the Calgary Public Library) then the title is kept a secret and only a theme is announced. You never know what you might see when you show up, its pretty great!
I went through the library and chose a great scifi flick from 1936. It is dated in all the right ways. If you are in town, you should come check it out.
Alright, it is July and I am six months into my attempt to movies in a 12 movies in a year.
Let’s look at the stats:
Complete: 2
In Post: 5
In Pre: 1
Okay! Not that auspicious… But I have not given up! I just some how have to ignore summer and start working like a mother.
Or I will just burn off a whole bunch of simple in-camera silent films in Decemeber.
Either way, check back in six months and see if your humble narrator soared to new heights or fallen a sleep at the wheel.
