In keeping with our mockumentary theme, Pat and Paul wrote in a clever mock advertisement selling “Novel’s in 8 Seconds“. Because Lola Linden knows what you want: Girls. With Glasses. And she can sell you intellectual sex appeal with her brilliant new cd, which “gives you all the benefits of skimming, without all the hassle of pretending to read”. Briana Templeton did an excellent job in this role, as we threw the camera and a bunch of lights inches from her face and told her to act. She exceeded expectations, and did a great job in her first performance on film.
Special thanks also have to be given to Caversham Booksellers, Toronto’s number one mental health book store, that allowed us to shoot in their store and play with the kids toys on the shelves afterwards. We are a mature bunch 
We ended the day at Ezra’s Pound, that lovely coffee shop on Dupont and Spadina, where we grabbed the last of our footage and a couple of delicious cappuccino’s. Ryan Graham, Hayley Crooks and Lucas James all made an appearance, and I’ve got to say, watching a man eating a watermelon has never been more fun.
