*Wade from the Panic Manual with Genne Speers at the CFMDC
The Panic Manual recently made a donation to the Canadian Film Makers Distribution Center (CFMDC) in appreciation for the the DVD of visuals that they put together for our Fresh Off The Boat 90’s Dance Pary a couple of weeks ago. If you attended the party and were wondering why we were showing 1950’s erotica footage, then you can thank the CFMDC.
The CFMDC is Canada’s foremost non-commercial distributor and resource for independently produced film. They represent over 2,600 film titles, including some of Canada’s most original and well-respected works of art. They act the same way as a record label, but for films. So if you make a film, you can take it to the CFMDC and they will sell it for you. They also do stuff like film restoration and preservation.
I dropped off our $40 donation to CFMDC employee Genne Speers earlier this week. Her initial response to our generosity was one of confusion, which turned into appreciation after I explained why I just stuffed two twenties into her hand. Genne mentioned that the money will likely go toward a door, and possibly even a wall, for their screening room. That’s wonderful, but something tells me that the entire CFMDC office was treated to a Swiss Chalet lunch on Friday afternoon compliments of the Panic Manual.
