THE TALK (2015) by Joe Otting


WARNING: Not for young children unless you want an awkward talk with them.

There comes a time in every parent’s life when the harsh reality hits — their child is growing up. And with that realization comes an event, a moment, faced with fear and trepidation, when said parent takes time from their busy day to have a special chat with their child, a talk if you will. And as with all parenting moments when dads are in charge, it goes horribly, horribly wrong.

The comedic slice-of-life short THE TALK is about such a parenting moment mishap. Directed under the visionary creative eye of JOE OTTING, and acted by the immensely talented JOHN HOOGENAKKER (Public Enemies, Empire) and lovable rising star ISABELLA CROVETTI-CRAMP (Joy, Colony) it is a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of parenting — of epic proportions — and reminds us that life is not always as it seems.

MAKE SURE TO WATCH IN 1080p.

Brett Rheeder – This is Home by Ride Shimano


„My home has always been in Ontario. I wanted to tell the story of where I live and where I come from, my whole family lives within 50km of each other in southern Ontario. My cousins let me use their farm land to build the course. We hoped the dirt was going to be good, but as soon as we dug into the ground we knew it was gold and the best part is it’s only 4kms from my house. I know that Ontario is not ideal for mountain biking, but with a little work I feel it can be, and that’s what I wanted to show. For me, This is Home.“ – Brett Rheeder
