Hey there folks. It’s no secret that I haven’t been posting as much as in previous months and no one is missing my posts more than me. But there is a good reason for why I’ve been slacking on the post front.

In January I began working on a large scale Toronto blogging project hat I feel fills a void in the overall coverage and information on film specific to Toronto. It’s called Toronto Film Scene and it is now stumbling towards being the first wave of what I hope that it will be someday, which is a hub for film info and fans in Toronto. With coverage of film festivals, theatre and movie listings (sadly not live just yet, but soon – very, very soon), news, reviews and a place for community.

The site is what I would consider to be the technical definition of a labour of love and is still growing, albeit slowly. Check it out at www.theTFS.ca and, if you live in Toronto and are interested, drop me a line about writing for the site. I’m definitely looking for Torontonians who love film.

I’m not abandoning my wonderful readers over here at 10 Movies – in fact this is the place I get to just be my nerdy self – but I may not always have the mental capacity to post at both places. Can you forgive me?

UPDATE: Shannon the Movie Moxie emailed me today to let me know my link up there to the new site was broken. Oops. Sorry about that. Hope you’ll visit.

Also, it’s worth noting that Shannon has been integral in making Toronto Film Scene what it is. Without her enthusiasm and support for the site, it may never have got out of my head and onto the screen. Thanks Shannon! You’re awesome! And while I’m on it, I’d like to say that Bob Turnbull, Kurt Halfyard, Sarah Gopaul, James McNally, Chris Magee and Rob Harding are truly inspirational Toronto bloggers without whom I would never have even thought to create a site like this. You guys rock. All of you.

The Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) is coming up and 10 Movies has a contest for you! As a quick refresher, TUFF is the one-minute silent film festival that happens from September 11 – 20 on the One Stop Network on the TTC, Toronto’s public transit subway system. This is one of my favorite festivals of the year since it has a required format – a one minute silent film – that I believe stretches filmmakers to make something new and interesting. Keep reading…
