Irreverent will shoot the feature film sometime this summer. A co-production
with an international partner who was to be announced at this month's Cannes
film fest, the romantic comedy is about the patrons of a restaurant on
Valentine's Day. O'Brien, Stern and Sutherland produce, with Monica Mitchell directing the
script by Rick Dobran, based on his award-winning play. The cast includes legend
Malcolm McDowell, Gina Chiarelli (Da Vinci's Inquest), Bruno Ganz (The
Manchurian Candidate) and C.R.A.Z.Y.'s Marc-André Grondin. The inclusion of
Grondin fits with one of the company's key strategies.
"For our English-Canadian projects to succeed, we need to begin bridging
the West Coast to Quebec," says O'Brien. "We need to establish
relationships there." The $8.5-million feature has funding from Telefilm
Canada, The Harold Greenberg Fund, British Columbia Film, Movie Central and
ThinkFilm, and will shoot entirely in Vancouver.
