GravyTrain world premiere tonight
One of the most fun moments at Fan Expo last year was when we chatted with filmmakers April Mullen and Tim Doiron, and their great indie mockumentary “Rock Paper Scissors: The Way Of The Tosser”. The duo are back with the new comedy GravyTrain, and the trailer suggests that even with a bigger budget the film is infused with the same sense of humour as Way Of The Tosser.
As an interesting side note, GravyTrain is the 3rd Canadian feature to be shot on the Red One digital cinema camera.
