Owl River Runners to screen at 2nd annual Cannabis Film Festival

Cannabis Film Festival laurelsOwl River Runners will be screening at its second U.S. film festival, making its sixth overall film festival appearance when it screens on April 23rd at the Cannabis Film Festival in Garberville, California.

“Since Owl River Runners touches upon the (as of now) illegal side of cannabis, it definitely opens up the discussion about whether or not the events in this film would have event taken place had cannabis been legal.” says producer André Goguen. “But first and foremost, it’s an interesting story with great characters, wonderful actors and rockin’ tunes. I know that festival goers will be rightly entertained.”

Screening time is 4:00 pm at the Redwood Playhouse in Garberville, CA.

Which means, when 4:20 rolls around, people will have a great film to watch!

In its second year, the Cannabis Film Festival’s mission is to increase public awareness of all aspects of the cannabis industry through educational and entertaining film media with the intention of raising consciousness regarding the many uses and applications of cannabis.

The lost journals of Robert Walter Graham – part 3

Journal of Robert Walter GrahamThe following is a letter from the journals of the late Robert Walter Graham, which were recently found in his home:

 

These last few months have been rough around the old farm.  Tough times indeed.

They say everything comes in threes, well that’s just bull… I got a four.

Number 1. My sister Martha finally kicked the bucket and left us last month.  I mentioned her before about having Alzheimers.  So technically she left us years ago, her kids still took it tough.  I think it’s a blessing for all, as morbid as it may sound. When your mental presence is gone, what’s the point?

Number 2. Ray got himself caught again by that bumbling chief Hines.  Locked him in the slammer for 3 months… again.  It could have been worse but we worked out a deal.  I’m not one to hate anyone but that Hines is a greedy SOB and testing my tolerance level.

Number 3.  Caught the damn flu.  First flu I caught since I don’t know when.  I thought I was gonna shit my heart out.  My rear end so sore that I thought I’d have to call the fire department to put the flames out.  Well. I’m all better now, nothing a bottle of Bourbon couldn’t resolve and what do you know… the organs are intact.

Number 4.  Georgina up and left Owl River.  She emptied the canola operations account, took Ray’s ’87 TransAm, and off she went.  Where? Who the Hell knows.

This is not unusual behaviour for Georgie but with little Jaime I thought she’d changed.  The hardest part is poor ole Hal who struggles trying to explain something to the kid.  It’s been a month now and she’s asking less and less about where her mom is.  Not sure they ever really bonded that much and I guess a month is an eternity for a little girl her age.

Georgie’s not the motherly type, nothing like Elizabeth… I’m not sure where we went wrong.  I guess she’s always been one to chase rainbows but when the rainbow fades from the sky she finds her way back as if nothing happens.  I just hope it’s before Ray gets out of the slammer though, he won’t be happy that she took his TransAm.

Some good news, not just that the arse inferno has gone out just in time to harvest those fields, but that this is going to be my biggest crop yet.

Our indiegogo contributors are all over Owl River Runners

So many people jumped on the opportunity to be a part of Owl River Runners. But we’re not just talking about the diligent cast and crew that worked tirelessly to make such a great film. We’re talking about the lucky people who snatched up perks during our Indiegogo campaign that allowed their face or name to be made into a prop that would be used in the film. See if you can catch the name or the face of someone you know.

These props were created by our graphic design team headed by producer André Goguen, along with John Landry and Amélie Allain. A huge thanks to our corporate sponsor Incolor for outputting such beautiful props for us. The finished products speak for themselves.

Is your name on one of these props? Come and see it on the big screen at our screening in Moncton on April 15th or 16th! Get your tickets in our screenings section.
