Childstar (2004) Trailer

Childstar

When you're only famous for fifteen minutes, every second counts.

Childstar is a 2004 comedy film directed and written (with the help of Michael Goldbach) by Don McKellar.

Watch the Trailer!

Taylor Brandon Burns (Mark Rendall), a conflicted young TV star from the U.S., runs away from the set - and his problems - while shooting a big-budget film in Canada. His reluctant limo-driver, Rick Schiller (Don McKellar), a down-on-his-luck indie filmmaker, is enlisted to find Taylor before the childstar destroys himself. *Wikipedia*

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993) Extract

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould

The sound of genius.

Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould is a 1993 film about the pianist Glenn Gould played by Colm Feore.

Watch the Trailer!

As the title suggests, this dramatised documentary about the eccentric Canadian pianist Glenn Gould is broken up into thirty-two short films (mirroring the thirty-two part structure of Bach's 'Goldberg Variations', the recording that Gould made famous), each giving us an insight into some aspect of Gould's life and career. Out of respect for the music lead actor Colm Feore is never seen playing the piano, merely reacting to Gould's own recordings, which are extensively featured.Written by Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>
