THE VOLUNTEER - EXTENDED RUN + Reviews!



Back by popular demand - THE VOLUNTEER has an extended run for those of you missed it our opening weekend! The key info:

Sunday, November 30th, 3pm  4pm - Princess Twin, 46 King St. N, Waterloo, ON

Thursday, December 11th, 7pm - Bookshelf Cinema, 41 Quebec St., Guelph, ON

Tickets are $10 cash at the door. People loved the Q&A from our opening night so for both of the above shows, there will be a Q&A with the filmmakers!

Here's a great review from Heather Riemersma, CKWR New Art Radio:

I was not at all expecting the magnitude of emotion felt during the viewing of Rosco Films, The Volunteer. The entire movie had the audience engaged in the relationships unfolding before us. The superb acting was very reminiscent of Neil Armfield's Australian masterpiece, Candy. In a surprising turn of events, it was made clear after the showing that with the exception of Myra Segal (Becky) and Theodore Bouloukos (Rick), professional actors were not involved. Director Jonathan Steckley and the cast and crew deserve more than a round of applause for this spectacular creation!

THE VOLUNTEER Comes Home!

We're a little late to the game updating here but we want to blog for the record that the local premiere for THE VOLUNTEER was AWESOME!!

We had our official world premiere at Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival which is so cool. Cinéfest is legitimately a powerhouse festival in Canada and for a small film by no-names like us to make it in was an incredible blessing.

But the event we were always looking forward to was showing the film to our hometown crowd - all of you who supported us in so many ways in making this uber indie film come to life! And y'all didn't disappoint - we packed our opening night at the Princess Twin to the rafters; the weekend overall was a huge success and made us feel like it was worth all the work and wait! THANK YOU!

**UPDATE**
Due to the success of our opening run, we're so excited to announce an extended run!

Sunday, November 30th, 3pm - Princess Twin, 46 King St. N, Waterloo, ON
