Monarch Documentary Wins 14 Festival Awards
Without being able to properly respond to each individual message this week, let me just say thank you one last time to everyone who made this experience unforgettable. Thank you to the cast and crew, to all the audiences and supporters, to the producing team, festival organizers, promoters, and on and on and on. I'm incredibly proud of what we all achieved.
With the international film festival tour for my documentary Your Cinema Needs You concluding this month it's finally hitting just how much happened this year. More here.
A special shout out to the Monarch Theatre and to everyone in Medicine Hat, Alberta too. If we weren't already feeling the hometown love throughout all of this, the documentary was once again a front page story this week. It's been an ending right out of a Christmas special.New irons are in the fire for 2025. Stay tuned.

Plaza Hotel in New York City
Welcome to the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City.
"Howdya do, this is Peter McCallister. The faaaaaaather."
With my Talkboy, two turtle doves, and my vintage collector's cards in hand, I made my way to the Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
I didn't run into any former presidents in the lobby, but I was honored to be in the company of guests of the new Celebrity Ding Dang Dong. The rest of my family was in Florida while I watched "Angels With Even Filthier Souls" and ran up the in-suite ice cream tab. I didn't come all the way to New York to get my naked rear end spied on though.
Are all these Home Alone 2 references landing? Because as far as travel shoots go, this was actually a dream come true.
