The Canadian Film Centre’s Feature Film Project has its third (and possibly final) project in place. House, based on Daniel MacIvor’s award-winning play, is a darkly comic look at a one-man-perfomer who has an uncanny ability to pull his audience’s experiences into his monologue. Laurie Lynd (The Fairy Who Didn’t Want to be a Fairie Anymore) is directing, MacIvor writing and starring, Karen Lee Hall (producer of the cfc’s Television Workshop) is producing. Lynd won a 1992 Genie for The Fairy and Daniel MacIvor received a Chalmers Award for House, the play.
The film is set to shoot in Toronto this summer, says executive producer Colin Brunton. The ffp is awaiting word in the coming fall or winter as to whether the three-project status of the program will be extended.
