I recently heard about some casting calls for an upcoming film called Father's Day from Winnipeg based Astron-6 and got interested; unfortunately they're only casting for male extras so yr girl is SoL for the time being.

It didn't stop me from taking a look around their site and being thoroughly impressed, because I sure love me some B-movies.

What I didn't realize is that they were totally filming " Laser Ghosts 2: Return to Laser Cove" at my old pad, Roslyn Square. You can see shots of the building at :23 and onward, and the part where he's walking across that bridge? Yeah, I watched them shoot that from my living room window (that bridge was how you got to my suite) which gives me, I dunno, an insider's view? Super cool stuff, yo's.
I've been trollin' their site for a while now and am super stoked about the upcoming release of Father's Day and basically being overwhelmed by the greatness of these local low-budget filmmakers .

How can you not love faces like these?!
Go give 'em some love on their site and check out the vids for such fine productions such as
MANBORG
GoreBlade: Warrior King of the Information Superhighway
Cool Guys
and more!
