Terry Gilliam’s Tideland, shot last year in Saskatchewan’s Qu’Appelle Valley and Regina, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The famed director’s movie was among nine added to the roster in a statement Tuesday by festival organizers. An adaptation of a classic cult novel by Mitch Cullin, the film stars Jodelle Ferland as Jeliza-Rose, a girl who escapes the harsh reality of her life by inventing a fantasy world.
The cast of the U.K.-Canada co-production also includes Janet McTeer, Brendan Fletcher, Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Tilly.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
