In the middle of a snow storm on a cold January night, a creative fundraiser for Bruce McDonald’s experimental film about John Coltrane still managed to pack the jazzy Trane Studio bar and raise $20,000 for A Love Supreme. Asked about the total film budget, the Pontypool director laughed and said, ‘There isn’t one.’

McDonald underlined that this new coin will allow him, co-director Peter Lynch, producer Alison Duke, DOP Rick O’Brien and actor Brian Stillar to continue shooting in ‘bars and cafes’ in Toronto.

The whole film is based on a series of black-and-white stills, which will be transferred and edited in ‘a fluid and organic way,’ and will include touches of animation and other effects to create a tribute to the legendary tenor sax player.
