Date night with the wife. Melanie really really liked the tasty pizza at St. Augustine’s, we both enjoyed the sexy strange sweet fairy tale Wicker at VIFF (with many Crown stars, Peter Dinklage and Alexander Skarsgard - whose Wicker torso popcorn bucket you can 3D print in time for the feature’s wide release next month). Also, I dug the way Off-VIFF (where our Sugar Rot feature screened on the 7th) badass-edly repurposed VIFF posters to advertise their last screening day at the Rio holiday Monday October 12th… #staugustinespub #viff #theriotheatrevancouver #offviff #datenight

Some photos from the making of MANHUNT, which we shot in the summer of 2024, just after I defended my PhD, with additional photography the following summer.

Two summers, a lot of driving, and a lot of time spent in the woods with some very talented and committed people.

After premiering in International Competition at @filmfestlocarno this August, the film is finally coming home to Vancouver, before heading east to Montréal.

COMING SOON! On Monday the underground takes over the Rio, with wrestling mats, road trips and one very long summer 🤼🚗 /// OFF-VIFF is almost here, and Wayne Wapeemukwa's MANHUNT, a Locarno-selected true-crime parable about two young men on a northern road trip, anchors the day. It's joined by a Vancouver-made wrestling doc that has its world premiere at the Rio, and the filmmakers behind DRINKING AND DRIVING join a post-show conversation with Louise Weard. A very good excuse to skip work.
"Rejects conventional wisdom around representational politics, form or even what a movie is." (Sight and Sound)

SUGAR ROT throws consent, sexual politics, bodily autonomy, mutant babies, and male desire into one very fucked up ice cream sundae.
