ERNST GETS MORGAN S(NUB)LOCKED
Livid.jpg

You can sometimes meet a celebrity and be so charmed by them him/her you risk compromising your opinion of the work. 

You hope to be polite and yet you don't want to gush over their films if in fact you don't particularly like them. Insincerity is a disease as easy to spot as it is to catch.

With Morgan Spurlock that's not an issue.

Perhaps he was suffering from early morning jitters, a lack of coffee, or he simply wasn't aware of the quaint Canadian custom of not walking away from someone in the middle of an introduction.  

And to be fair, maybe he just didn't wish to be bothered while at the Meet the Filmmakers Breakfast. I clearly misinterpreted the invite to be an opportunity to meet the filmmakers.  

But happily there was more to the event than simply being snubbed. It was the chance to hear about a new documentary project: Focus Forward.

Focus Forward produces 30 three-minute documentaries by established documentarians.

Also there were directors Nick Broomfield, Joe Berlinger, and Jessica Yu.

As for movie choices for this afternoon, most come from the Midnight Madness program which means today's body count is higher than usual.

The Day, Livid and You're Next are, respectfully, routine, surreal and just bloody good fun.
