Meatballs
There was a special sceening of Meatballs today at 11:30am that I was invited to and I missed it. That really sucks!
The Canadian Filmmakers Festival that I have been going to over the last few days is in Toronto and I live in Burlinton. That means that I would have had to leave here by around 10:30am to get to the screening and well, it was kind of a late night last night for me!
Meatballs is one of my fav movies of all time. It was definitely the movie that turned me into a huge Bill Murray fan. He plays the role of a camp program director and the movie was shot at a camp I know very well. Going to camp was a big part of my teenage years! As a matter of fact, up until my third year of university, camp is where I spent my summers making about $100 a week and creating comedy skits and characters for talent nights and camp fire programs! It was really all about trying to make the rest of the staff laugh and being clever enough not to get in crap from the camp director or get fired which was always a possibility because of some of the stuff my friends and I would do! Most of my closest friends to this day are friends I made at camp! Cool eh!
Anyways, I've missed the damn screening and I'm bummed. Maybe I'll have to have my own screening of the film at the Staircase Theatre in Hamilton. That would be cool. All my buddies could come and we could do some of our old skits before the movie. This is actually a really good idea.........stay tuned!!!!!!
I gotta get outside and soak in some of the sun that is finally here to stay, it looks like. I'm going to the closing gala tonight at the festival and I am going to also try and get to the screening of the festival's closing film. It's called "Childstar" and it's directed and written by Don McKellar who is represented by the same agent that I have been in touch with lately regarding representing me.
I have a big shot entertainment lawyer now who is really well known in the world of comedy and my next step is to get an agent or at least that's what I've been told to do. I'll fill you all in on that stuff later, I gotta get outside for a couple hours while the sun is still jammin down!
Later guys,
