When exhausted new dad Ken has to head home to bury his own estranged father, he’s guilted into fulfilling his father’s dying wish; to have his ashes scattered on the playing field of his favourite local sports team. It’s a task that proves tougher, and funnier, than it should be, but with the help of his lonely, hippy mother and his father’s old golf buddy, Ken learns a little about himself, his marriage, and most importantly, that there’s nothing about dying that makes you a saint.

THE KILLER WHALE WHO CHANGED THE WORLD
Feature Film - Documentary
Director: Mark Leiren-Young
In the summer of 1964 a team from the Vancouver Aquarium set out to kill a monster so they could study and dissect it. On the morning of July 17th, 1964 the team from the Aquarium harpooned their prey. When the harpoon only wounded the monster the hunters shot it with a rifle, determined to kill it before it killed them. But when the giant didn’t attack the hunting party began to wonder if, just maybe, killer whales weren’t killers after all. The Killer Whale Who Changed The World explores the transformation of whales from “killers” to “Orcas” - from monsters to pets to ambassadors of the ocean.
Mark Leiren-Young's best selling book was released in September 17, 2016. Available on Amazon.
