Welcome back to Late Night Scrolling!
Icon of stage and screen Wayne Burns joins me this week to, first and foremost, celebrate Aries season. The first time we met in person was at TIFF, at the premiere of SHARP CORNER which is now coming to theatres May 9. In this episode you’ll hear all about our crazy worlds-colliding red carpet moment, but you can watch it here
When I tell you Wayne is iconic, I mean Wayne is iconic. Two of his projects made waves at Canadian film fest, his new short EEL in post production, and film FAST LOVE soon to announce Toronto premieres and of course, SHARP CORNER.
We got real about how our Nova Scotian roots inform our work as producers and our province’s cinematic language — and no matter where you’re from, I think you’ll find the conversation cathartic. Everyone knows their hometown better than its misconceptions and headlines, and the beauty of film is that it captures those nuances and preserves them in time so we never forget what we’ve gone through. I loved this conversation and I know you will too!
Wayne’s gofundme for EEL is still live, you can check it out here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/eel-short-film-fundraiser?attribution_id=sl:95db8035-b10a-4fd8-863b-1dca4f2fb5a5&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link and check out all of Wayne’s work at wayneburns.ca (we love a Canadian website domain!)
May is around the corner, and yall… we’re taking this show on the road. That’s right — we’re heading back to Toronto at the end of the month to meet up with friends and cook up some very special interviews ahead of the Canadian Screen Awards. I can’t wait for you to see what we’re cooking, get ready to EAT this month!
We’ll see you back next week!
