VIFF: Waking the Green Tiger

One of the coolest things about being in Vancouver for the film festival is that I get to meet some of the people behind the films. On opening night, I met Gary Marcuse, director of Waking the Green Tiger, and I was immediately charmed by his passion for both storytelling and for the environment. Yesterday, we had a quick moment between screenings to chat about his film, which has its world premiere today.

Panda under the stars

There were lots of people, there was lots of popcorn. There was the Toronto skyline, there was beer on tap. There was no ceiling, but there was no wind. There was warm weather, there were warm smiles. And of course, there was the panda!

Outdoor movies, National Parks, and WWF!

Something I’ve always wanted to do is go to a drive-in. Preferably in a convertible. There are two problems with this – there isn’t a drive-in in downtown Toronto, and I don’t have a car (much less a convertible).

Ann Southam remembered

As Chair of WWF’s “planned giving program,” I see a lot of names of people who have decided to remember the cause of nature conservation through the largest financial gift they will ever give – a bequest, through their will. In effect, they are saying something important and deeply personal about what they want to see live after them.
