Michael Ray Fox’s first feature is Roaming in Halifax

February 21, 2012 by Etan Vlessing

Roaming, winner of the inaugural First Feature Project award from Film Nova Scotia and Telefilm Canada, has started production.

Writer/director Michael Ray Fox’s relationship drama, shooting in and around Halifax through March 5, stars Rhys Bevan-John as a young, reclusive autistic man, Cory Bowles and Sarah D. McCarthy as his roommates, and Christina Cuffari.

Roaming is using $110,000 in production financing from the Canada Feature Film Fund and Film Nova Scotia.

The First Feature Project funds a producer, director, writer team to make their first feature film after the director made a series of short films.

Daniel Lillford and Martha Irving complete the main cast.

Roaming, which is produced by Richard MacQueen, follows Fox shooting a host of short films, including Katrina’s New Beau, Why Vinnie Carponzo Hates Trains and A Lesser Sort of War.

Fox (pictured) and MacQueen won the First Feature Project award at the 2011 Atlantic Film Festival as part of a juried competition.

Michael Melski is executive producing Roaming.

Congratulations Michael Ray Fox, for your “Roaming In Halifax!”

I hope you are very happy, you have earned it. I remember when I got my
financing together, to do my first feature movie. Just doing that
changed everything for me. May it be so with you!

Best to you,
