I wanted to invite you all to come see my feature filim THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY when it begins its theatrical release on May 23rd at The Royal (608 College, in the heart of Little Italy). The film will run at least until May 29th before departing for other Canadian cities. Every screening will be preceded by a fifteen-minute live musical performance by one of the stellar artists on our original soundtrack which also hits stores on May 20. THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY swept the ACTRA Awards in Toronto, winning both BEST ACTOR (Aaron Poole) and BEST ACTRESS (Kristin Booth) as well as recently winning BEST PICTURE - WORLD CINEMA at the at the Phoenix Film Festival and a SPECIAL JURY PRIZE at the Houston Film Festival. The film and soundtrack feature BRAND NEW music by Buck 65, Bry Webb of The Constantines, The Sunparlour Players, Shad, Sebastien Grainger & Jewish Legend, Emilie Mover, The Ghost Is Dancing, Andre Ethier, and the FemBots. You can view the trailer at http://www.youtube.co... Hope to see you there! Ed Praise for THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY: ?Self-assured and stylish?a gritty version of Toronto The Good not often seen in Canadian film? TORONTO LIFE "At times difficult to watch for its unflinching portrayal of urban life, This Beautiful City refuses to indulge in false hope or happy endings, choosing instead to dwell upon the messiness of cultures clashing and the divisiveness of class. Life is fragile here, ropes fray fast, and the result is a film that is as volatile as it is honest." THE DAILY PAGE (Madison, WI) ?Uniformly excellent?compelling viewing? EXCLAIM "My favorite film...the pinnacle of the Wisconsin Film Festival" 92.1 FM, Lee Rayburn ?Incredibly realistic?the performances are so real that they?re almost too hard to watch? CHART ATTACK Critic's Pick: "An amazing performance by Caroline Cave roots this ensemble drama of haves and have-nots" INDIANAPOLIS STAR, Christopher Lloyd ?Jolt upon jolt of urban adrenalin?
