    Mongrel Media Presents FALL A film by Terrance Odette (100 min., Canada, 2014) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/Fall Fall – Synopsis Father Sam Ryan, (Michael Murphy), an aging Roman Catholic Priest living contently at a Niagara Falls parish, receives a letter forcing his complacent life into descent. The letter, from ‘Christopher’, confronts him about an incident that happened 40 years ago. Father Sam was a young, charismatic priest, serving a remote, Northern Ontario parish. Christopher was a 14 year-old adolescent, whom Sam mentored. The letter asks Father Sam for the truth: what did take place all those years ago? Were lines blurred or crossed? What choices were made? Forgiveness, redemption and sin are the dominant themes of FALL. All the characters whom Father Sam encounters – through his parish duties and from his suppressed past - force him into deeper reflection: ‘Chelsea’, a restless bride- to-be; ’Michael’, a repentant addict; ‘Reza’, a gay, Iranian grieving his recently- deceased mother; ‘Sheila’, Sam’s free-spirited, benevolent sister; and finally, ‘Catherine’, the shattered wife of enigmatic Christopher. Now haunted by his memories, for the first time in his life Sam is compelled to reconcile himself; more than as a Priest…as a man. Did a sexual encounter happen? Can a moral custodian of the faithful; a dispenser of God's grace, transcend his own FALL? FALL is at once intimate and remote - both revealing and concealing - richly filmed in wide-screen/anamorphic to capture the majestic power of the Niagara Falls of Sam’s present, in contrast to the vast, frozen Northern Ontario communities of Sam’s past.

    LEGACY PROJECT A century-old feud over tribal fishing ignited brawls along Northwest rivers in the 1960s. Roughed up, belittled, and handcuffed on the banks of the Nisqually River, Billy Frank Jr. emerged as one of the most influential Indians in modern history. Inspired by his father and his heritage, the elder united rivals and survived personal trials in his long career to protect salmon and restore the environment.

    SERIES PREMIERE ET DEC 8 10PMPT INTRO Letter from Marja-Lewis Ryan I was 19 when The L Word® first aired, and Ilene Chaiken’s original series made me believe that my voice mattered. It profoundly influenced both my personal and professional life. For the first time ever, I saw myself reflected both on screen and behind the camera. The power of that really can’t be underplayed. It allowed me to dream up the career that I have now. I met Ilene a few years ago when we were both hired to write on a feature. A few months after that job ended, I sent her an email to congratulate her on The Handmaid’s Tale. She sent me an email back asking me if I wanted to pitch to create an L Word reboot. As you could imagine, I thought it was a joke. After a handful of surreal meetings, here we are, 10 years after Ilene left off with her original version, I get to pick up with my new one: THE L WORD: GENERATION Q. I describe my take as: queer, confident, aspirational, and joyful. I remind my collaborators that even as the world has changed, normalization is still radical. Our audience still needs to know that queer people are just people; they have jobs and they get coffee. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to usher in the next generation of diverse queer people. A generation that looks like Los Angeles does now. I couldn’t imagine a better time to make this show.
