September 6, 2004 STORYLINE ENTERTAINMENT A Whale of A Tale - October 2, 7:15pm – Granville 7 Cinema 2 Dem Bones (short) – October 4, 7:00pm – Pacific Cinematheque www.storylineentertainment.com (Toronto) - Trendspotters invariably look to the West Coast for next-big-things. And so it is this year at the Vancouver International Film Festival, where hot documentary shop, Storyline Entertainment has scored a hat-trick with three featured productions. Shipbreakers, directed by Michael Kot and produced by Ed Barreveld, takes the viewer into the underbelly of the "new economy," a beach in India where desperate labourers turn gigantic derelict ocean vessels of the world into mountains of scrap metal. Peter Lynch - whose Canadian cult classic Project Grizzly inspired a Simpsons episode - and producer Ed Barreveld will be front and center in Vancouver with the multi-faceted A Whale Of A Tale, about the unexpected discovery of a whalebone in the '80s during an excavation of the Toronto transit system and the media storm it created in Canada's "center of the universe." And Dem Bones, a short piece inspired by A Whale of a Tale, brought to cinematic brilliance through the visual artistry of dance, choreographed by the internationally-acclaimed Robert Desrosiers, is directed by Peter Lynch, produced by Ed Barreveld and co-produced by Mehernaz Lentin. Storyline Entertainment is a Toronto-based producer of documentaries and non-fiction programming for television. Established in 2000, Storyline Entertainment's mandate is to create high-end productions with international appeal, in a variety of formats and lengths including hour-longs, features, one-offs and series. "We're thrilled to have all these films showcased at VIFF," says Storyline Entertainment Producer Ed Barreveld. "The Vancouver festival has always been an ear-to-the-ground event, and it speaks to the substance of our films to have been selected by their programmers. It inspires us to carry on with our mandate to make enjoyable and absorbing films for international audiences that entertain and inform." Storyline Entertainment's first production, the feature-length documentary Aftermath: The Remnants of War was co-produced with the National Film Board of Canada and first broadcast in Canada by History Television. Released in the Fall of 2001, the film garnered a multitude of awards including a Gemini Award nomination.
