You might have a secret pet project that you have nursed along through your whole creative life. You might be writing a secret novel about time traveling outlaws, or a concept album about bagpipe ska children’s songs, or a map of a future subway system in your hometown. Could be anything. Sometimes the wonderful happens and a pet project gets legs and, powered by the sheer whimsical determination of one's own conviction, gets completed. I’m all for that sort of stuff and I'm all for that sort of people, it’s what separates the chimps from the robots, it's the difference between a saw that saws through wood and a saw that performes in The Singing Saw Shadow Show (RIP). That’s what is about to happen this Friday for Sook-Yin Lee, who graced Wavelength with a beautiful shimmeringly disarming performance at the Garrison last October. She has been flexing and finessing her film about love and ensuing confusion “Year of the Carnivore” all the way through all the obstructions a whimsical pet project ought to face, and she’s steered it all the way to its final destination, a silver screen! You can watch the current songstress (and iconic ex MuchMusic VJ of our youth!) watch a dream come true this Friday at the following three theatres across Canada:

TORONTO at the Cumberland 4 Theatre (159 Cumberland Ave.)

VANCOUVER at Cinemark Tinseltown Vancouver (88 West Pender; 3rd Floor)

MONTREAL at AMC Forum 22 (2313 Rue Ste Catherine East)

Sook-Yin Lee, Buck 65 and Adam Litovitz wrote the original score and the soundtrack includes songs by Aidan Baker, Betty Davis, The Walkmen, Shugo Tokumaru, Yegor Letov, Modern Creatures, and more, spanning some of the best in American, Canadian, and Russian independent music.

Good luck to Sook-Yin and congratulations for just being awesome and doing something off kilter and unique and staying true to your own true voice, the rest of us should be inspired now to get off the couch and like yoda says Don't Try, Do!
