GENDER TROUBLEMAKERS (1993) dir. Mirha-Soleil Ross & Xanthra Mackay What happens when two Transdykes get sick of non-transsexual's uninformed representation of their sexualities and their lives? They grab their 8 millimeter home video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other trans women.

"Good enough is the enemy of Humanity" is such an amazing line and I'm shocked it comes from the dramedy about the Blackberry phone.

Excerpt from the article:

Over the course of his career, Mr. Jewison was nominated for seven Academy Awards – four as a producer of best picture nominees and three for best director, including two for Moonstruck – but didn’t win any. Still, in March, 1999, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bestowed on him one of the industry’s highest honours, the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, whose other laureates included William Wyler, Cecil B. DeMille, Alfred Hitchcock, Ingmar Bergman, Billy Wilder, and Steven Spielberg. Introduced by Nicolas Cage, the male lead in Moonstruck, Mr. Jewison sauntered onto the stage of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to the theme of Fiddler’s If I Were a Rich Man, arms in the air and hips swiveling jauntily, like a prancing Cossack, as Hollywood royalty rose to their feet and applauded.

“My one real regret at winning this prize is that – you know, it’s not like the Nobel, or the Pulitzer – I mean, the Thalberg Award comes with no money attached!” he said, to laughter from the audience. “If it did, I would share it with the Canadian Film Centre and the AFI, where the next generation of filmmakers are preparing to entertain the world in the new millennium.”

His eyes grew misty. “My parting thought to all those young filmmakers is this: Just find some good stories. Never mind the gross, the top 10, the bottom 10, ‘What’s the rating?’, ‘What’s the demographic?’” The audience erupted in applause. “Just tell stories that move us to laughter and tears, and perhaps reveal a little truth about ourselves.”

Took in a showing of a new independent film from Prince Edward Island by writer/director Jeremy Larter.

Larter is the creator of PEI based comedies like “Just Passing Through” and “Pogey Beach.”

“Who’s Yer Father?” stars Chris Locke of “Run the Burbs” and Susan Kent, formerly of “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” Both were in attendance to do a Q&A afterward.

Its plot revolves around a private investigator on an island where everyone knows your family. There’s also black market lobster sales.

It also featured Jess Salgueiro and Kaniehtiio Horn, both of “Letterkenny.”

It was a lot of fun and I’d put next to other Canadian hoser comedies like “Letterkenny” and “FUBAR.”
