    MR. X CREATES AN ARMENIAN TOWN AND A CAST OF THOUSANDS FOR ATOM EGOYAN'S ARARAT TORONTO, CANADA - September 28, 2001 -- The creative team at Mr. X, Inc., which specializes in digital visual effects for feature films and music videos, are creating digital environments and building cg armies for Ararat, a feature written, produced and directed by Oscar-nominated Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter, Felicia's Journey). The Serendipity Point Films (Toronto, ON) and Alliance Atlantis Motion Picture Company (Toronto, ON) production features a stellar cast including Christopher Plummer, Elias Koteas, Marie-Josee Croze, Eric Bogosian, Bruce Greenwood, Charles Aznavour, Brent Carver, Arsinee Khanjian and David Alpay and is scheduled for mid-2002 release by Miramax Films (Los Angeles, CA). A decade before Hitler rose to power in Germany, 1.5 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire were massacred under the regime of the Committee of Union and Progress, more widely known as "The Young Turks." Indeed, the lack of attention given to the Armenian slaughter has been attributed to bolstering Hitler's confidence. The Armenian Genocide of 1915 - 1923 serves as the basis for Egoyan's film. A film-within- a-film, Ararat tells the story of the production of an historical epic about the atrocities and how they change the life of one member of the crew. For the films' numerous flashback sequences Mr. X is recreating the Armenian city of Van, circa 1914, prior to the carnage that took place there. "Onto the mountainous terrain of the Canadian Badlands we are building a computer generated version of the city.

  • Wilby Wonderful
    Wilby Wonderful A film by Daniel MacIvor Running Time: 99 min. Distributor Contact: Josh Levin Film Movement Series 109 W. 27th St., Suite 9B, New York, NY 10001 Tel: 212-941-7744 ext. 213 Fax: 212-941-7812 [email protected] SYNOPSIS Wilby Wonderful is a bittersweet comedy about the difference a day makes. Over the course of twenty-four hours, the residents of the tiny island town of Wilby try to maintain business as a sex scandal threatens to rock the town to its core. The town’s video store owner, Dan Jarvis (James Allodi) – depressed over the pending revelations about his love life – decides to end it all, but keeps getting interrupted by Duck MacDonald (Callum Keith Rennie), the town’s dyslexic sign-painter, during his half-hearted suicide attempts. Meanwhile, Dan has enlisted blindly ambitious real estate agent Carol French (Sandra Oh) to sell his house in an effort to quickly tie up the last of his loose ends. Carol, however, is more interested in selling her recently deceased mother-in-law’s house to Mayor Brent Fisher (Maury Chaykin), in order to get in with the in-crowd. To take her social step up, Carol could use the help of her police officer husband Buddy (Paul Gross), but Buddy has his hands full with sexy, wrong-side-of-the-tracks Sandra Anderson (Rebecca Jenkins), who can never decide if she is coming or going. Sandra’s daughter Emily (Ellen Page), is none too thrilled about her mother repeating her typical pattern of married men and bad reputation, but Emily herself is just about to have her heart broken for the very first time.
