- For socially active, pop culture seekers who want a more interactive television experience, the half-hour MOVING STORIES TV series provides a unique lens through which to view books, by adapting the work of contemporary authors into provocative short films. Award-winning, multi-talented artist of film, TV, books and music, host PAUL QUARRINGTON sets up each episode, pointing out things of particular interest to someone who is a film buff, aspires to make a film, is curious about what goes on behind the scenes in filmmaking, wants to know more about the author, the book, and more, according to the nature of that episode's content. MOVING STORIES is filmic storytelling directly linked to today's culture. We believe that literacy motivates people to celebrate our collective stories. MOVING STORIES encourages anybody who has the desire and vision to become "literate" in film, books and community.
- This documentary is a character-driven, cinematic essay featuring Paul Quarrington, writer-musician-filmmaker, coming to terms with his life and death through the power of music.
- Phil and Jay share more than a family bond - failed careers, failed relationships, bottomless drinks, and a debilitating memory of a shocking encounter in a ravine one childhood day. The pretext of being strangers, the darkly comic ritual that the broken, non-functioning brothers perform in an attempt to get at their pain, can't cover the palpable connection between them, nor their deeply felt desire to find redemption.
- Imagines the fictional narrative of the historical novel Renaldo in animation, woven through the real-life biography of its author, James McCreath.
- Brian Fawcett examines the seemingly "normal" life of his parents, only to discover a rich vein of history - his parents were complex people, leading lives filled with challenge, laughter, sickness and success - that helped him find his own story. "A characteristic modern memoir... occasional extremes of indelicacy ... a series of undramatic incidents that pierce the heart ... such plain and serviceable language is a light shining in the darkness." - Philip Marchand, National Post
- One Bullet Away is a very personal documentary. At its centre is a story that points up the difference between ideals and reality in combat; how Nate Fick chose to defy orders rather than walk away from civilians living under the threat of unexploded bombs. The story underscores his hard-won message - that war is human, and demands humanity from its leaders.
