"Taking a detour away from the official festival, I then made my way to the Royal Cinema to catch a private screening of Passenger Side, the new film by LA-based Canadian filmmaker Matt Bissonnette (Looking for Leonard, Who Loves The Sun). What we saw was a very rough cut straight off Final Cut, and it was fascinating to see a feature film at this intermediary stage of the filmmaking process. The promising low-budget indie boasts good performances (most notably from Adam Scott) and cracking dialogue. I'll hopefully write more about this new feature in 2009 when I get to see the finished version."
