Year of the Carnivore

A very cool Canadian independent film that I’m in, called Year of the Carnivore is hitting screens in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal on June 18th.

This gutsy romantic dramedy, about a girl that realizes she needs to bang more dudes in order to bang this one dude, was shot a couple of years ago up in my home province of B.C. and was a real blast to work on. Everyone was so nice, and not just because they’re Canadian and therefore required to be nice by Canada’s Constitution. Actually, the star of the film, Cristin Milioti, is super nice and not Canadian at all, she’s from New Jersey. People from New Jersey are pretty nice too.

The film was written and directed by Sook-Yin Lee, one of the most creative and original artists that Canada has ever produced. She also composed the score! Oh, and she’s totally nice. Like, sweet and kind and nice.

I play Dirk, Cristin’s character’s boss. Dirk is a total asshole. Not that nice. The character was a stretch for me in that I’m incredibly nice.

I hope it kicks ass up in Canada and eventually makes it’s way down here to the States. That would be nice.

Here’s the trailer.
