Leanne is 14 and preparing a school presentation about WWII. Her dad, an actor, wants to help because he knows all about WWII from his work on the TV movie Brothers of Glory. My Father’s an Actor is a 10-minute comedy about parent vs. child, creative vs. conventional, and actor vs. reality.
Crazy8s is sponsored by the Directors Guild of Canada to challenge five Directors to prepare, shoot and edit a short film in 8 days with only $800 and one 30 minute tape. Crazy8s 2004 took place May 6-13, with a gala screening at the Vogue Theatre on May 15th.
