Hello All,

 

I don't know how popular Chantal Kreviazuk is in the U.S., but she is BIG in Canada. Kreviazuk and director Cline Mayo talk about their short film PRETTY BROKEN. You won't read about this in any other publication. The article also talks about a feature film that Kreviazuk will appear in (an exclusive).

Chris,

 

If you haven't been told lately. Thank you. The magazine is great. I'm a new subscriber. The work envolved is never totally appreciated... I know from experience. Keep it going friend! BTW get some controversy a try in the next issue. Give Santos an opportunity to voice his mantra. That would be great fodder. Seriously. A total sell out.
