Leslie at TIFF09
Just announced! Reg Harkema's Leslie, My Name is Evil is an official selection at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, where it will have its world premiere. This is especially fun for me because I built the opening title sequence and assembled other graphics for the film and this is the first time my stuff will be right up on the big screen at TIFF. The movie packs more imagination into each minute of film than anything you're likely to see this year.
The cast includes Gregory Smith who also appears in the upcoming GUNS and Copper, Kristin Hager from Wanted and I'm Not There, Peter Keleghan from The Newsroom and Don McKellar and Tracey Wright have small roles.
Here's the newly-completed poster art:
It was a tougher job than it looks. The key art was inspired by the raw exploitation film posters of the film's time period and it was quiet a challenge coming up with a non-design design that captures the 'guerilla filmmaking' energy and spirit of the movie.
Anyhow, I've been working on this project since -- March? -- and it's been a really fun gig. Everyone else has been working on it for far, far longer ... so it's good to see that it's about to head out into the world.
