Everyone gains from latest Film Co-operative production
'Diplomatic Relations' currently being shot in Fredericton, has quite the list of who's who on board.
By Jim Lavoie
Published in HERE
Shooting is nearing completion on the New Brunswick Filmmakers' Co-operative anthology series entitled Diplomatic Relations. The production consists of three 15 minute short films which are all being shot in high definition. The three stories Back in Your Arms, Hide and Seek, and Butterfly Broach all take place at one 24-hour restaurant. Even though they share the location, they're all different in genre and tone.
While the name is a nod to Fredericton's 24-hour restaurant The Diplomat, co-creator and screenwriter Tony Sekulich said this fictional restaurant is far different from the Dip.
"There's just something about 24-hour restaurants that appeal to me," Sekulich said. "They become magnets for the creatures of the night. I've always believed if you could listen to the conversations of the people at a restaurant at three o'clock in the morning they're far more interesting than those of people out during the day. Why are they there at that time of the night and what's going on around them?" Sekulich found himself always wondering.
Based on this appeal, Sekulich and co-creator John Christenson teamed up to produce the three 15 minute comedy/dramas set in a fictional diner in a fictional town.
In the diner is the tale of three tables' patrons one Friday night. Each story is self-contained and begins in the present time as we meet the key players and get a sense of what brings them there that night, explains Sekulich. "An incident or adventure will undercut between whatever is happening at the restaurant and back to earlier events that day leading up to the late-night incidents." Co-producer John Christenson said one of the stories, Back In Your Arms written by Tony Sekulich, is a love story/drama.
"A soon-to-be bride enjoys a late-night coffee with her fiance and friends when she runs into a former love," he said. "Simple catching up soon turns into delving headlong into the past as she begins to see all may not be as she once thought. Will truths about the past change her plans for the future?" The second piece, Christenson said, is a bit more dramatic.
"Butterfly Broach is a crime/drama period piece," enthused Christenson. "An elderly couple goes to the diner to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the night that changed their lives forever. An unforeseen incident thrusts them back in a world they thought they left behind." And the third offering, Hide and Seek, he says is best described as an intense family drama.
"Three brothers grab a late night coffee after coming to town to tend to their dying, hospitalized father. Their reminiscing soon opens up old wounds between the brothers and a long buried secret finally rises to the surface."
Cat LeBlanc, NBFC membership services director says the shooting of Diplomatic Relations has been an ongoing live production set for students, which is great for their program.
"Up to this point, the students of the Film Co-op's Film and Television Certificate program have been in a classroom setting. For the last year they've been learning the theory and practical aspects of the craft from professionals who work in the New Brunswick and Canadian film industry." The program received funding and support from New Brunswick's department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour and New Brunswick Film.
"With this financial support, we were able to put together an intensive group of professional mentors and those they mentor. The stellar cast and volunteer crew from the NB Film Co-op and the wider community has been an essential component of this 'first of its kind' program in New Brunswick," said Leblanc.
One of the professional classroom and on-set mentors was award-winning New Brunswick hair and makeup stylist Paul Leblanc. He won an Oscar for his celebrated makeup work on the blockbuster Amadeus in 1984. His most recent work was on the Coen brother's film No Country for Old Men.
"He was a wonderful person to work with and he told us he enjoyed his time with us," said Leblanc. The key people overseeing and co-ordinating the programme are: Tony Merzetti, NBFC Executive Director, Screenwriter Tony Sekulich, and Director of Professional Development John Christenson.
Bunthivy Nou, one of the certificate students said it was a real benefit learning from and working with industry professionals.
"The advanced workshops combined with the practicum shoot and the opportunity to network is a very effective way to develop and enhance filmmaking skills," Nou said. Nou, who wrote and directed her first short film, last year (A Lion's Tale) thanks to a Short Film Venture grant (NB Film and NB Film Co-op supported), said there were definite learning curves and challenges.
"We're shooting three films at the same time and on new high definition cameras and equipment which are a new format for the majority of us," she said. "In my case I am training to do camera and editing on top of which I am also directing one of the films (Hide and Seek). It has been a busy time for all of us, but it's been a lot of fun and very rewarding. We're not quite done yet though, there are a couple of shooting weekends left...and then to the editing room."
Sekulich feels that shooting Diplomatic Relations has been great for everyone involved. "Programs and productions like this enable/enhance the creative pool of N.B. talent to stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone."

moncton - Film Co-op member film accepted into major festival
Moncton-based filmmakers Dawn Boyd and Michael Aronson are pleased to announce that their short film Daddy Why? has just been accepted as an official selection of WILDsound Short Film Festival in Toronto.
The husband and wife team has been making films together since they first met six years ago. “We got our first big opportunity in Halifax with an animation piece that we submitted to the Garrison Brewery Big Break Ad Challenge,” says director Boyd, who grew up in Saint John. The piece, titled Heino, placed first, winning the couple a short film production package.
Since then, the couple has gone on to produce a number of short films through their production company Doisey Films. Daddy Why? is their most successful film to date having been screened at the 2007 Silver Wave Festival in Fredericton, First Sundays Film Festival in New York City, and Dragon Con Independent Film Festival in Atlanta, Georgia, where it won the Audience Award for Most Deliciously Twisted Relationship.
“We are very pleased with Daddy Why?,” Aronson adds, “it is the first time we have had a film screened in Toronto, which is a significant step for us as independent filmmakers in Canada.” The film, which features a father explaining the nature of death to his daughter, will be shown on Saturday, April 26th, 2008 at the National Film Board Theatre at 150 John Street. Doors open at 6:30PM, and tickets are available for $10.
Unfortunately, the film couple will not be in attendance, as they will be producing their next short, Cell, with the help of other members of the NB Film Co-op. The couple are also working on a half-hour made-for-TV short film called The French Thief, to be produced in winter 2008/09. The French Thief is the bilingual story of a Francophone family in Northern New Brunswick. Doisey Films is currently seeking funding from broadcasters and other local production companies who may be interested in getting The French Thief produced.

The Production Designer conceives and creates the overall look, mood and style of the film, working in close conjunction with the Director and the DOP. Many elements are involved; one gets to play God, in fact, creating a world in which the film will take place. This can mean adapting existing locations to ones purpose, or creating new ones from scratch.
Costume design will also be considered as a vital element in creating character for the actor, and for audiences' understanding of the character.
The first half of the workshop studies the work of past and present Production Designers, using examples of their work in many differing styles, depending on the possibilities and requirements of the film. The second half will investigate the stages of practical preparation and production on a film, dealing with restrictions of money, time and resources, which so often occur in low to no-budget productions.
With proper preparation, planning, research, resourcefulness and creativity, much can be done even on a limited budget. And remember: it may be hard work but it's also a whole lot of fun! (Some may not necessarily subscribe to this view).
INSTRUCTOR'S BIOGRAPHY
Glendon McKinney studied film at York University. As well as writing and directing his own works, Glendon has worked as a production and/or costume designer on numerous independent productions including Tim McDonough's "The Strings Attached" and Jon Collicotts' WW II story, "A Song for the Homefront", for which he received the award for Best Achievement in Art Direction at the 2007 Silver Wave Film Festival.

by and streamed online by the Struts Gallery in Sackville. He also teaches film history and aesthetics at the Digital Arts College.Glendon hopes someday to live amongst the depraved luxury of Von Sternbergs' "The Shanghai Gesture".

FREDERICTON - MONDAY NIGHT FILM SERIES
Apr 7, 2008, 8pm, Tilley Hall, UNB Campus
THE SAVAGES
Director: Tamara Jenkins
Cast: Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Bosco, Peter Friedman, Gbenga Akinnagbe
Run Time: 113 minutes
Country: United States
Year: 2007
Language: English
THE SAVAGES is a sometimes-funny, sometimes-sad look at family dynamics, but this time around the sense of humor is more wry than riotous.
Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman play Wendy and Jon Savage, a pair of siblings on the cusp of middle age. She’s
earning money in New York City as a temp as she writes an
autobiographical play about their childhood, while he lives in Buffalo, teaching college and finishing a book on Bertolt Brecht. Their estranged father (Philip Bosco) lives across the country, but the Savages reluctantly rush to see him when they learn that he may not be able to take care of himself any longer.
Jon and Wendy bicker over problems old and new as they try to figure out what’s best for a man they barely know. Jon and Wendy tear into each other as only people connected by blood can, but their fighting feels entirely genuine, largely thanks to the performances of Linney and Hoffman.

Along with one-of-a-kind pieces, two separate showcases will educate the audience by showing the progression of works from conception, and sketches, to the individual steps involved in making a completed exhibition ready design.
This is an exciting time for the Jewelry/Metal Arts Studio showing for the first time in the college since the beautifully renovated GALLERY opened its doors in the fall of 2005.
Award winning faculty, Brigitte Clavette, Studio Head, RCA, Beth Biggs, RCA, Trudy Gallagher, and technician Heath Curry will raise the bar with the inclusion of their own high caliber work.
Student achievement awards recognize technique and design and are possible because of the generous support of sponsors: Bejewel by Trudy Gallagher, Sue Lawrence Hair, Spa and Gallery, Gallery 78, and Monty Lewis, stone cutter and New Brunswick College of Craft and Design Fellow.

Canadian Feature Doc Seeking New Brunswick/Nova Scotia DOP
Seeking: New Brunswick/Nova Scotia Cinematographer to shoot Atlantic portion of across Canada Documentary.
The Story:
On April 28, 2008 Kimber Sider and her horse Comet will ride west from Nova Scotia with a goal of the Pacific Coast of Canada, 6,000+km and 5-6 months down the road. Her driving inspiration is Barbara Kingscote's 1949 journey from Mascouche, Quebec to Vancouver, British Columbia and Barb's book "Ride the Rising Wind".
On Barb's journey she found what she refers to as "the generous heart of my country". Kimber and Comet are setting out to discover the heart of Canada today and to see if it is still possible for a lone woman in her twenties and her horse to make is across Canada almost purely on character and the hospitality of the Canadian spirit.
Timeline:
Kimber & Comet ride out of New Glasgow Nova Scotia on April 28, 2008. It will take them 6 months to reach the Pacific.
Filming:
Though the majority of the documentary will be shot by Kimber on the road, we are seeking local DOPs to shoot a few days in their home province to enhance the collaborative/community aspect and bring a regional flavour to the doc.
Details
The ride and documentary currently titled "Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History" is endorsed by the Ontario Equestrian Federation and Equine Canada and is sponsored in part by The Pickering Horse Centre, Richvale Saddlery and Picov's Horsemen World.
Currently everyone working on this documentary is donating his or her talents for a credit in the film. This may change as the journey progresses and the community of support builds.
