Kevin Doucette
Kevin (Stephen Oates) es un granjero de musgo irlandés comprometido con su forma tradicional de hacer las cosas a expensas de una vida más lucrativa para él y su esposa embarazada (Liane Balaban). Cuando encuentra una bolsa de dinero varada en las costas de la Isla del Príncipe Eduardo, su decisión de mantenerlo en secreto convierte a su pintoresco pueblo de pescadores en una creciente escena del crimen cuando los dueños del dinero lo llaman. A Small Fortune es la historia de la lucha de un hombre para mantener a su familia y la necesidad de dejar atrás las viejas costumbres para aprender que el dinero no lo es todo. Adaptado del premiado cortometraje de Adam Perry A Blessing from the Sea.
There is no ‘best thing’ about having terminal cancer, but for forty-year-old Joe, being welcomed back into his childhood home, feeling the warmth and support of his sister and her husband and observing his young niece’s blossoming emotional maturity seem to give new meaning to a life he feels he had wasted. With unexpected humour, stark realism and quiet insight, Under The Weather is an uplifting meditation on one man’s graceful surrender to the inevitable and the palpable impact his passing has on those he leaves behind.

As a reluctant dependence blossoms the pair find themselves wading into violence, answering for the debts of a dead man. Stalked by outlaws, they plan an exit.
The Man
A Gothic period piece set in Newfoundland during 1888, concerning the meeting between a mysterious, wealthy woman and a lowly man from the streets.
Un cineasta acosado por la deuda contraída con unos turbios prestamistas toma la decisión de rodar un slasher low cost, recurriendo a actores dispuestos a hacer cualquier cosa gratis. Su golpe de genio pasa por encarnar él mismo al asesino, y reducir el presupuesto para efectos especiales asesinando al elenco artístico. Así, Incredible Violence da un nuevo sentido a la expresión “sacrificarse por amor al arte”.
Michael Winsor
