I thought Bill Marshall had some great words of wisdom during his speeches. They may have seemed a little cynical, but that's the business we're in.

I actually felt bad for the host David Kerr who had some really funny material, but very few cared to listen. A lot of the films in the Top 10 had good moments. Countenance was good, Trouble on Treetop Terrance had an incredible f/x shot, Until you Came Along had good atmosphere. But my personal favourite was Blue Seal, it was a convincing action film that had a car chase. Incredible achievement for 48 hours.

Hey I'd agree Crossing Brooklyn Ferry is an amateur film. Nothing wrong with that, I'm 20 years old; I like many of the challengers have years of practice ahead of them before they are professionals. The Toronto Film Challenge is a great stepping stone towards that, it embodies all the joys and agonizing pains of filmmaking.
