Theatrical Screenings, a New Interview, and a review on CBC

Friday, January 19, 2007

We recently got back from Chicago where we did a couple Q&A's after some of the screenings. Thanks to everyone who came out, you made our time in Chicago really memorable. Here are a couple quotes from our theatrical run.

“A comic ode to contemporary Peter Pans, Things To Do is a pleasant indie diversion about the vagrant joys of dropping out, wasting time and having fun in your 20s.”
- Michael Wilmington THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"Things To Do is a must-see!"
- FLAVORPILL.NET

"Very easy to fall in love with"
- Steve Prokopy GAPERSBLOCK.COM

Also, last weekend Mario Bernengo did an interview with Theodore Bezaire and Mike Stasko about Things To Do opening in the United States, how the film was made, and other things. You can read the full interview at THE-FRAT-PACK.COM

And finally, CBC Radio host Dan Reynish recently did a little review of Things To Do. You can listen to it by clicking here.

Back from Stockholm

Thursday, November 23, 2006

We just returned home from the Stockholm International Film Festival. It was a great time. We met and hung out with many other filmmakers like Mia Goldman(Open Window), Ryan Fleck(Half Nelson), and Steve Anderson(F@*K). Overall, the response to our film was great. We were worried that the comedy wouldn't translate to a different culture very well, but we were wrong, the crowds were laughing at even the most subtle stuff, it was really nice. The festival staff was super helpful and they made us feel very comfortable. It was a fantastic festival experience!

Toronto Screening

Sunday, June 04, 2006

The lineup for the Toronto screening
On Friday night we had the Toronto screening at the Bloor Cinema and it was a great success. We were really excited to see the lineup before the film extend down the street and and around the corner of Bathurst. It was really nice to see the film in a packed theatre on a huge screen. The crowd seemed to really enjoy the film and laughed at all the right parts. Afterwards about 75% of the audience stuck around and we did about 15 minutes of questions and answers. Also, we should have some good news to report by the end of the week.

Update and bpm review

Sunday, April 30, 2006

It's been a while since the last update. We've been super busy trying to put some things together and we should have some concrete news to post within the next week or so.

In the meantime, check out this month's issue of bpm magazine. We're included in their Sundance review section and we are the only entry it mentions from Slamdance, pretty cool. Here's a small quote from the review.

"Garden State meets My Name Is Earl, but its less pretentious than the former and as funny-but way more subtle-than the latter." Julide Tanriverdi, bpm Magazine

Slamdance Wrap-up

Monday, January 30, 2006

Theodore, Gerry, and Mike at the Slamdance Closing Night Party
The festival is now over and I think that everyone involved had a fantastic time. The crowds at our screenings were extremely receptive and positive about the film and I don’t think I could have asked for a better place to premiere “Things To Do”. I was told on many occasions by the festival staff that all week they were hearing great things about our film, which made us feel very proud about our accomplishments. Speaking of the festival staff, I can only say good things about them, they were super helpful all week and just great people to be around. They put a lot of work into the festival and it really shows. So, that’s it for Slamdance, we will keep this page updated as things progress.

Slamdance Day 5 & 6

Thursday, January 26, 2006

All of us on our way to the New York Party in the
"Music Taxi"

Tuesday was a restful day and we were able to watch a few films. In the morning Mike, Stef, and myself went to see "The Hawk is Dying". I think all of us liked it on some level. Then in the afternoon we saw "The Guatemalan Handshake" another competition film at Slamdance. It was beautifully shot and had some really great moments. Wednesday started off early for Mike and I. We had an interview on a Park City TV morning show. The interview went well and they showed 2 clips from the film which was pretty cool. Then Wednesday night we all made our way to the New York State Film Party. On the way there we were brought in the "Music Taxi", a taxi equipped with lights, party favors and a full Karoake system. Needless to say it was a pretty funny/strange experience. We arrived at the party which was held in a huge mansion on the top of some hill. I think I ended up counting 7 bedrooms. The house was really great and had an indoor pool/spa, indoor basketball court, and many other cool things. Anyways we all had a good time and made our way back to our condo once again in the "Music Taxi".
