Thank You

Well, it's been a blur but it's been a blast! Leaving Toronto in about an hour, and sad to go. Last night's screening went very well, even better than Saturday. Another full house and everyone seemed really into it.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see the film, and thanks also to Hot Docs, who have made this a really great experience.
Remember, the Canadian broadcast premiere is coming up in a few weeks, so tell your friends. It's airing Fri. May 4th, Sat. 5th and Sun. 6th, all at 8PM. www.documentarychannel.ca for details, or check my website, www.baddogtales.com.
Thanks everyone!

Happy that's over

Just got back from the World Premiere screening of 'Yoga, Inc.' at the Bloor cinema in Toronto. A great, surreal experience. The film sold out, there was a massive line around the block and once they were inside and watching people laughed and oohed/aahed in all the right place. They even stayed for the Q+A. Can't ask for much more than that!

Another screening tomorrow, Sun. 22nd, and also sold out. So I have my fingers crossed that it will go as well.

Here in Toronto

Hi All,

Arrived yesterday (Apr. 20) in Toronto and dived headlong into a blitz of publicity, doing interviews with the CBC, OMNI media, BNN Business Network (that was a fun one), Star TV, various bloggers, upstarts and Naked Newsmen. I'm like an overgrown child, being sheparded around the city by my 'handlers'. (And great handlers they are at that, so thank you Ingrid and Charlene at GAT Publicity. www.gat.ca).

Hot Docs has been treating me great so far. Opening film was great, party was fun and people seem really jazzed about my film and all the films, in fact. Nice to be around so many people who are all this passionate about docs.

I lived in Toronto many moon ago, for about four months during winter. More snow than an Australian farm boy thought could ever fall in one place. Anyway, the geography is starting to come back to me...

Must dash... Another blogger/reporter awaits...
