It's had a couple of potential release dates, but they fell through. What I'd heard is that Ram was looking for a good OTT deal and wasn't just going to settle for anything. I mean. Okay. If that's true, good frying. But then no one gets to see the film outside of those festivals it played.

Yes! And the thing is, there are some really good films amongst the bombs, but they're not massy, commercially viable films. I mean, one film I'm waiting on is Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai, I don't know if that will ever be released.

Guelph lies directly adjacent to the Haldimand Tract and is part of a long-established traditional hunting ground for the Six Nations of the Grand River. Many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have come from across Turtle Island call Guelph home today.

My Land Acknowledgement: This place we call Guelph has served as traditional lands and a place of refuge for many peoples over time, but more specifically the Attiwonderonk, and the Haudenosaunee. This land is held as the treaty lands and territory with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

And I can't wait until my grandkids are old enough to read Doyle's books. I just know they'll love them, too.

Sadly, I just couldn't get past all the publication rejection, and I gave up. Do I wish I'd been a different person, who could have ignored and kept going? Sometimes. But I'll never forget the thrill of talking to my favourite author about writing for children.

Doyle was generous with his time, and he loved my manuscript. Said he wouldn't change a thing. Told me why. Told me to keep writing, and keep trying. He was as wonderful a human being as he was a writer.

I persevered for a while. And I went to a conference where we could submit a manuscript and get feedback from an author. We didn't know who, we found out when we turned out. Me? I got Brian Doyle. I was both thrilled and terrified. I shouldn't have been terrified.

A story, if you will: I was also, back then, an aspiring writer for children, and I took classes and workshops and read my stories and got the best kind of rejections for them (the ones where they tell you they like it but it doesn't fit for them at the moment). Me, I just felt rejection.

It makes me so sad that Brian Doyle is not celebrated more. As a reader, as a teacher, as a teacher-librarian, I loved his books, and loved sharing them with students. A brilliant writer. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/bria...

Canton: Brian Doyle, at 90, remains 'one of the greatest writers of books for children that Canada has ever seen'

The Ottawa-area writer changed lives with his humane and sensitively expressed desire to understand what it means to be a child.

I knew Mirai was releasing, and a bit about it, but it hasn’t had a lot of attention, I think.

The best thing about Coolie was Upendra, who got a terrific entrance and just was on fire when he was on screen. The rest was just exhausting.

This. More value for writing & thought processes that spark change.

I’d suggest you dodged a bullet re: Param Sundari ;-). Lokah is doing brilliantly. I wish there were more screenings near me, I’d so go again.

I'm actually crossing my fingers for that so hard, I really hope it does it!
