I’m sitting in a cafe in Toronto on this sunny and spring-like day, and I wish I was in NYC with the cast & crew of Unhappy Happy instead but I thought the next best thing would be to ask them to send me some selfies so I could feel like I was with them anyway. I didn’t give them a lot of time, but some were able to comply.

Unhappy Happy has been nominated for Best Narrative Feature, and Victoria1 has been nominated for Best Actress. So while we have all been extremely excited with each festival that our2 little film has screened at, but these two nominations just gives us that much more to be excited about. I’m sending them all the luck, and good vibes I can muster.

If you’re in NYC and want to check out something truly moving and thought-provoking at the Queen’s World Film Festival this weekend, I hope you would check out Unhappy Happy.

Well, I wasn’t able to go to the screening of Unhappy Happy at DiffTO but some birdies tell me that we won the Best Canadian Film Award that night. Isn’t that awesome? And we also got word that it will be screening at the Queens1 World Film Festival in March! I really, really hope I get to go on a road trip if only to be in NYC earlier than expected this year.

And if that news isn’t exciting enough – our Director, Rob Shaw, just released the official trailer for public consumption. So now when I tell you that I was in a feature film and you ask me what it’s about, I can just send you this:

Oh! The feels!
