True Love: The latest film from the superb Adam Brodie and Dave Derewlany, it is, like so many of their works, a little hard to distinguish from a comedy sketch, unless you remember just how bad sketch shows currently are.

It’s an interesting and potentially important time for English language Canadian filmmakers, with several Canadian films managing to reach cult hit status, such as It’s All Gone Pete Tong and The Life And Hard Time of Guy Terrifico. With only five percent of movies seen by Canadians made by Canadians (according to the program guide) and the writer of It’s All Gone Pete Tong Michael Dowse expressing a wish for Canadian content quotas for cinemas as well as TV and radio, the 3rd annual Canadian Filmmaker’s Fest, held with the support of he Toronto Film Festival Group's Film Circuit, is timely.

That film is in Programme 5: Genre Redux, if you like the sound of her.
