Ryan Byrne is a mysterious man. One part self deprecating masturbation enthusiast, and one part dedicated film maker, …

I have crossed a lot of paths with Amy Shostak; probably the most of anyone I've know in Edmonton. From my very first improv attempt at Nexfest about a hundred years ago, to writing groups with CBC's The Irrelevant Show, to art installations where she recreates her Dido's living room (with him included), to late night …

The Interview Project Part 2: Sam Varteniuk
I'll introduce Sam but first, relish in the opulence of his bio: "Sam Varteniuk was born in a log cabin he helped his father build. One day he will fertilize the earth with his dead body, and so fully participate in the circle of life, the greatest miracle of the mall." Sam is currently the …
