Le semeur (2013)
Passionate about Plants
Ms. Perron gives us a glimpse into the life of farmer, teacher, seed salesman and artist, Patrice Fortier, who lives in a remote part of Quebec where he grows heritage vegetables. His impressive horticultural knowledge, passion for getting his hands dirty and quirky-but-profound philosophical outlook on the beauty the world has to offer in all things that grow from a seed are all characters in this quietly rich documentary that spans seasons. Along with the wind... the ever-present wind. I saw this film at the 2014 Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival, where the filmmaker attended, and was impressed by its beauty and intimate look into Patrice's life.
The Creep Behind the Camera (2014)
An unexpected and thoroughly entertaining exploration of a reel creep.
Even though I had seen trailers for this film and had firm expectations walking into the screening, I still found myself surprised and dumbfounded by the story told and the way it was revealed. The directions the film takes by careening back and forth between interviews with the people involved in the original production of "The Creeping Terror" and the behind-the-scenes reenactments had me laughing out loud at the sheer Hollywood absurdity while I was cringing in abject revulsion.
Josh Phillips's portrayal of the psychotic creep, Art Nelson, was haunting and dark, while Jodi Lynn Thomas and Bill LeVasseur shine on screen.
This film is a fun, eerie, outlandish, weird retro ride through the darkest valleys of the Hollywood hills. I recommend it.
