With its Toronto premiere taking place at press time, Eating Buccaneers by writer/director Bill Keenan should gain some attention – if the on-screen talent is any indicator. The comedy, about four ad execs and a client who crash-land in northern Ontario, stars Peter Keleghan (The Newsroom), Leah Pinsent (Made in Canada), Shannon Beckner (Billable Hours) Steven McCarthy (Dead Mary), Jeff White (Little Mosque on the Prairie), and Neil Crone (Mosque). Also making a cameo as a hermit trapper is screen icon Gordon Pinsent.
