Near Toronto? Check out Mighty Brave Productions local screening
MULTI AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION COMPANY TO UNVEIL COLLECTION OF COMEDIC SHORTS AT ITS FIRST LOCAL SCREENING
TORONTO – Mighty Brave Productions is thrilled to screen a collection of their most recent comedic short films, An Evening of Mighty Brave Shorts, on Thursday, June 21, at Camera, Toronto's premiere lounge and screening room. The night will include three separate screenings that will include a sneak peak of Bonded Pairs, written & directed by John Bertram (director of the original Degrassi Junior High), Boundless, written and directed by Donnie Mullins,(created for Global TVs In the Can), Chasing Aces (directed by Donnie Mullins), and The Gospel of Phi (directed by Donnie Mullins).
“We've had an amazing last three years having produced nine short films,” said Lisa Wegner. Our international screenings and television platform have gotten our stories seen by over a million viewers. With audience and industry support and we're thrilled to finally show our work (on the
big screen) in our hometown.
BondedPairs is a media-mangling mockudrama, playfully answering the curious question: what if our genetic programming was taken over by television programming? The film weaves a tongue-in-cheek narrative around a series of comic, commercial-style vignettes -- and features an accomplished cast of seasoned performers, including Rosemary Dunsmore, Mag Ruffman, Dan Duran, and many (many!) more. Selected scenes from the first half of this unconventional "feature-short" will be presented, and audience comments invited.
Boundless: In this hilarious short, a young woman becomes concerned with her boyfriend's relationship with an 80 year old man, and demands to meet the elderly man who's paging her boyfriend in the middle of the night.
Chasing Aces is a mockumentary about three Riverview patients' obsessed with flying.
The Gospel of Phi: In pursuit of lost love a man finds himself training with one of self-helps least known gurus.
Founded in 1999 by Lisa Wegner, Mighty Brave Productions has developed into a successful and dynamic full service creative film company. Since its inception, Mighty Brave Productions has produced a number of award-winning films that have screened at festivals around the world, including Cannes Film Festival (Short Film Corner). Mighty Brave Productions have built and nurtured strong industry relationships on all levels of production, from the creative team to industry suppliers to skilled crew members. Our indie company believes the best films emerge from a playful, co-creative and safe environment.
Don't miss your chance to laugh the night away. Seating is limited and tickets are sold on first-come first-serve basis. Show times are 7pm, 8pm & 9pm.
Tickets for the screening are $10.00 general admission and $8.00 for students from the Camera box office. Valid student i.d. required. Camera is located at 1028 Queen Street West (west of Ossington)

YouTube converting videos to H.264
TUAW, among many other sites, is reporting that YouTube is in the process of transcoding some portion of their catalog from Flash Video to H.264. The move is in order to support Apple TV and, some claim, the iPhone.
It is not clear if this signals YouTube's move away from Flash or just the addition of a format. What is clear is that the Apple/Google partnership is working wonderfully and bringing great new tools to end users.
The support for H.264 on the web's largest video site is very interesting.

iTunes Plus with DRM free tracks now available
Apple has released iTunes 7.2, with iTunes Plus, now offering higher bitrate, DRM-free tracks from EMI. The release comes a few months after the big announcement that Apple and EMI would partner to bring open, non-copyprotected music to the masses.
iTunes Plus allows users to upgrade existing purchases to the new format where available. It also asks users if they wish to always purchase the DRM-free version of songs when available.
As we've said before, this is a great development for consumers. The ability to download high quality AAC files with no DRM makes us very happy.
