An absolute thrill to screen Nele Wohlatz's Sleep With Your Eyes Open tonight at @tiff_net. Eerie, melancholic, and completely honest about how lonely it can be to wander a foreign city. Trigger warning the film features a scene with a broken Air Conditioner.

There are very few tennis movies that capture the sport accurately or what it feel like to play. Giran Findlay has done it by casting an actual tennis prodigy in his short. The results are both realistic and surreal. It helps that the filmmaker was also a teenage tennis prodigy.

We won best film at the Student Film Showcase and our prize was a 35mm print. When we submitted to the Berlinale we mailed the 35mm print instead of a DVD. The selection team all had to go to a cinema together to watch it. They said it was a big part of why they programmed it.
