A Life’s Passion Screening in Winnipeg!

Today marks the Canadian premiere of Moving Stories Films in Winnipeg at THIN AIR: Winnipeg International Writers Festival.  Moving Stories is a program of 15 short films all based on works of literature - and A Life’s Passion is part of the lineup!  The producer Judith Keenan is out in Winnipeg at the event today. I would love to have been there, but I’m covering Word on the Street in Toronto, where I hope to catch  up with lots of interesting authors. The weather is wonderful…see you at Word on the Street!

A Life’s Passion on CBC Reflections November 2

We’re looking forward to the national broadcast of A Life’s Passion on CBC Reflections November 2! We’ll post a reminder closer to the date with more details. Stay tuned!
Renaldo: The film is a beautifully shot and animated hybrid that conveys the authenticity of author James McCreath’s dramatic life, and his fictionalized telling of real-world historical events in Argentina from its first years of industrialization to the terrorism and politics underscoring the country’s host role in the 1970’s World Cup.

BookExpo Canada

Things are gearing up for BookExpo Canada, to be held this weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Center.

I will be attending as an author/interviewer, working again with BookShorts Executive producer, Judith Keenan.

The trade show on Sunday and Monday is every bit as intense as its U.S. counterpart, only just not as large.

A special event for me personally is the premier showing of my film, “A Life’s Passion,” as part of the Moving Stories Film Festival on Sunday at 2:00pm.

“A Life’s Passion” was produced by BookShorts and by directed Crush’s Gary Thomas.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has licensed “A Life’s Passion” for exclusive release this fall.

BookShorts will be shooting authors and other interesting personalities throughout the show in the “Bookshorts Lounge, while I will be doing additional filmed interviews and talking about Renaldo in my booth.

I am looking forward to an exciting couple of days…stay tuned.
