My roommate Ben Dickerson was the first assistant editor as well as titler (? He did the titles… what’s that called? He’s out right now..can't ask him) on the film Sharkwater that was playing at the Toronto International Film Festival.

If you missed Sharkwater, Alliance Atlantis will be distributing it across select theatres in North America soon.
I found it to be an amazing film because it breaks down the myth of sharks as 'killers'.

I think the quote "more people are killed by pop machines a year than by sharks" or, if that’s not good, more people die from acne, than from sharks says a lot.

People kill sharks, not the other way around. Shark hunting and killing for fins is insane, and sharks ARE needed to keep the underwater ecosystem in balance.

Check it out, you’ll find it interesting.

Opening Party
The other week we also went to the opening party for the film at Century Room here in Toronto. Not the sort of place I’d normally go as I’m not a coked out full of myself sort of guy, but it was fun the one night (though 50% of attendants were coked out). The drinks were of course all free, and the sharkwater cocktails had glow sticks in them.
So like any group of mid 20’s guys and gals, not looking to shindig it with industry hypes, we got tanked on free booze.
