Feore Your Consideration...

My colleague Mark and I are currently at the train station in Windsor waiting for our ride back home after an amazing festival day here. It's been a long and really fantastic couple of days, so stay tuned here for photos and reports about it in the coming days.

Meanwhile, here's a little story for you. While setting up for our REEL CANADA Festival here in Windsor, I noticed a star for Colm Feore (a Windsor native) on their walk of fame:



The star was right in front of the (really beautiful) Capitol Theatre, where we were holding our event:



By coincidence, we were screening on of Colm Feore's films there in the afternoon. Bon Cop Bad Cop:



At the end of the screening, our Facilitator Norma Dell'Agnese asked the students to name the (American) sci-fi film that Feore co-starred in with Vin Diesel. The sharp Windsorites got it right away. Hint: this was outfit ...



While Colm was unfortunately unable to be with us in Windsor for this screening, he has been a great supporter of REEL CANADA, and has come out to schools in the past. Here he is with some student volunteers at Parkdale C.I. in Toronto last year:



That's it for our little photo-spotlight on Windsor's own Colm Feore. Next up on the RC blog, we'll share some video clips with you of a Windsor Q&A with filmmakers Adam Brodie and Dave Derewlany (check them out at www.adamanddave.com).
