(Toronto, Ont., October 2013) - The Reel Indie Film Festival (RiFF) is excited to announce its full lineup of six features, six shorts and six music videos, for the inaugural music-themed film festival.
"After all the planning and watching of films submitted to the inaugural year of the REEL INDIE FILM FESTIVAL, I am truly excited about our first line-up of Feature length films, Short Films and Music Videos,” says RiFF Executive Director Avi Federgreen. "There are terrific films including some outstanding Canadian titles. This is an excellent start to what I know will be many years of great programming for RiFF."
FEATURES:
Los Wild Ones – directed by Elise Salomon (USA) (doc) - Opening Night Film (Canadian Premiere) Sponsored by William F. White
Reb Kennedy and the artists on the L.A. based indie label, Wild Records, are chronicled in this honest look at an unconventional yet tight-knit family.
Musicwood – directed by Maxine Trump (USA) (doc) (Toronto Premiere)
An adventure filled journey that is also a political thriller with music at its heart.
Walking Proof – directed by Matthew Dorman and Marcio Novelli (Canada) (doc) (Canadian Premiere)
The film follows the 17-day process of making of Marcio Novelli’s debut full length album It's Not An Excuse, It's A Reason. The independent Canadian singer songwriter entered the studio with producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple) and engineer Nick Blagona (Deep Purple, The Police) without the support of a label.
