Look! It’s Nathaniel G. Moore on YouTube! That’s right it’s Bowlbrawl trailers. When The Big Lebowski meets Fight Club.

 

Liane Keightley’s Seven Openings of the Head was recently reviewed in The Globe and Mail:

"Keightley's choices as a storyteller are uniquely hers: shrewd, risky, quirky but never gratuitous, and often quietly revelatory…. Keightley's vision is inspired and entirely fresh. She may be too ineffably odd to score with word-weary prize juries just hoping for the brilliantly recognizable - but I hope I'm wrong."
