Straight from Pepin, WI, Andrew from Row Three and I sit down and record a quick review of the Flyway Film Festival’s opening night Film, Ink. A fantasy epic sure sounds great, but will it hold up under an Indie budget? Survey says ….

Andrew and I hope to get a couple more micro-podcasts recorded throughout the Festival, either reviewing films or pulling aside some of the directors in attendance and having them talk about their films and the Festival itself. And if we are lucky, perhaps the enigmatic Jay Cheel of the illustrious Film Junk will join us for some of these as well. That is, if we can get some poutine in him before he goes into withdrawl.

Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy the show!

In what is one of the most interesting ways to promote film, The Talkies is an event that invites a director to perform a live commentary track while the audiences watches. The Heights previously hosted this event for Cameron Mitchell and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and hopefully this time proves just as successful.Though unlike the previous directors, Guy Maddin has been cutting his commentary teeth for some time now, performing several live narrations along with actors and musicians for Brand Upon the Brain! and My Winnipeg in all sorts of exotic Canadian locales. Just think,  now Minneapolis and Canada can share more then Ice Hockey and Poutine!
