The Manor

THE MANOR - Trailer for a Feature Documentary (1:40) from Six Island Productions on Vimeo.

I recently worked on a pretty amazing doc about a family that owns and runs a strip club in my hometown of Guelph, ON.  It's a dark and funny film with a lot of heart to say the least.  It managed to catch the attention of the HotDocs film fest and it's snagged opening night.  That's huge for a first-time, Canadian filmmaker (Shawney Cohen).  I've never seen a film quite like it and you can now see the trailer over on the film's website HERE
