IIDS: Friday, July 13th

I begin to see what marriage is for. It's to keep people away from each other. Sometimes I think that two people who love each other can be saved from madness only by the things that come between them: children, duties, visits, bores, relations, the things that protect married people from each other. -Edith Wharton, novelist (1862-1937) 

The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobiaFrigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen.

Hi guys,

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine :-)  I have all the bikes that I think you should ride.  Tuesday at Tenth Ave. would be perfect for test riding if it works for you.  At Tenth Ave. I will have our best bike fitters available as well as a big selection of bikes in case we need to adjust our focus.

Will this work for you?  If not, I can work around your schedule just let me know.

I look forward to working with you both. Cheers, Sara

Hi Sara!

This time is convenient for me as well. Had a wonderful time, and a busy one, at the Folk Fest on the weekend so didn't seem to be able to find a moment, before, now, to reply. See you domani. Thanks and Cheers, Patrizzio!

Snap:  Sylvia, Ray's wife, took this on Friday evening, before concert started.




First ever visit to the Vancouver Folk Festival



    • Patrick James Dunn Great snap, Sylvia! Sorry you didn't come today. I'm still reeling from some of the acts, in particular at Stage 5 where I stayed for most of the afternoon and evening concerts, Twilight and Sundown. Will tell you all about it. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Tower: World Premiere On The Horizon

Back in January 2011, I started working with two young filmmakers, who had embarked on their first feature film.

This film, "Tower", is now through post-production and is slated for its World Premiere at the 65th Festival de Film Locarno in Switzerland, in August.

My role in this film was Diane, the mother of the protagonist. The footage was shot over several months and subject to a lot of stop-start-stop, as all personnel were volunteering their time for much of the production.

One interesting aspect to this production is that the Director, Kaz Radwanski, allows his actors to improvise all the dialogue. That is, no scripts, no lines to learn. At times, some of the "takes" ran for 20 minutes as we improvised based on the direction we had been given.

MDFF, the company producing "Tower", has set up a site where you can learn a little more about the film. But, be warned, the website seems to be set up for mammoth screens only. You can find the details at the following link.

All being well, I've included a couple of snaps of two of my co-stars, one I worked with directly in the early days, and one I never met! (I'll let you guess which is which!)

Fore more details about the Locarno premier or about the website, Dan is the contact @mdff.ca
