www.jamesmccreath.com — Our intrepid and curious colleague, author and de facto Moving Stories reporter JAMES MCCREATH caught up with David Chariandy at Toronto’s The Word on the Street. A timely interview indeed, as Moving Stories prepares screen the premiere of the short film inspired by the book, SOUCOUYANT. Way on the other side of the country, in Chariandy’s home town, BC filmmaker KEN TSUI is hard at work with his post-production team preparing the film for its debut OCTOBER 25 at the Vancouver International Writers Festival, Granville Island. The venue — Emily Carr University of Art and Design, a generous sponsor of both the production and the screening.
