Huuuge thank you to @nwfearfest for selecting my @macplantdraws artwork after their contest to be used on the passes and posters this year! Very excited and grateful for the opportunity!

They have a ton of movies showing (and they’re not all super scary ones) from Oct 14-Oct 18 showing at @themetrocinema (I will partake in some of the less scary ones because I’m a sissy. Sorry, Cannibal Holocaust)

A great chance to visit The Garneau Theatre which is such a cool venue! Please share this for them to help promote such a legendary place!

Also go check out @roxanaxenia for the winning poster submission for the contest, and to see her great work!

Canadian Screen Awards voting ends today.

We’re incredibly grateful for the response Tootoo has received, and to be in the conversation for “Best Documentary Program” is something we don’t take lightly.

If you’re a voting member, your support would truly mean a lot to our team.

Thank you
