“it’s time to tour and write songs, ” haught says. “anything that we can do to be productive is what we’re after. we are currently working on some new stuff for our full - length and have a couple of tours in the works. we want to hit the road and play these songs for as many people as we can. we just want to play rock and roll. ”
give thanks, lovers of rock music, because houston’s sweatiest grunge - rockers we were wolves have returned. following their 2013 sophomore effort wolf house, the band has released a 15 - minute - long ep ruin your weekend, and it’s quite good .
“we were wolves, ” is the story about two estranged brothers who return to their family cottage after their father dies. much binge drinking and fighting ensues. we’ve all seen the canadian cottage movie about a family that goes off the rails. but with canning’s deft touch, it becomes a film about a relationship between two brothers and the lies and stories we tell ourselves in order to form our personalities and in turn our destiny .
oh yeah! we were all a little bit tipsy because we were drinking beers around the fire and it was four in the morning. so when we shot the first take, i’m watching them do this and lifting her skirt, they’re starting to do it and i’m like, trying to figure out what move he’s at. “oh no – okay, he just undid his zipper, okay and now he’s licking his hand – i know where this is going. ”
“we just wanted something that was fun and honest, ” haught continues. “it’s too easy to get into the studio and overdo it. we tried to keep it simple, just like we do it live. we wanted it to be an escape, like a rock show you can start and stop when you want. ”
she is also developing a number of feature films, including an adaptation of the award - winning novel come, thou tortoise. she recently completed production on her first feature, we were wolves, which premiered at the 2014 toronto international film festival. jordan is a 2010 graduate of the director’s lab at the canadian film centre and an alumnus of the 2011 tiff talent lab .
with every project he takes on, he commits to finding the heart of the story, and working with co - creators to develop the project further. his work has been shown at festivals around the world, including tribeca, interfilm berlin and the toronto international film festival. in 2013, sam helmed the camera on two feature films back to back – how to be deadly and we were wolves .

jc: it didn’t take that long. steve (cochrane the film’s co - writer and star) and i met late july, shook hands and said, “let’s do this. ” we wrote the script in august and then we shot the film in october .
“the ep is kinda’ straight to the point, ” haught says. but forthrightness isn’t always a bad thing, and in the case of the wolves, it may be just what their fans want .

i came across newfoundland director jordan canning at a retrospective screening of her shorts at videofag. she’s made 12 of them, spanning animated eggs in an awful breakup (“not over easy”), wes anderson - indebted children’s fantasy (“oliver bump’s birthday”) and a stunning conversation between a shy married couple in a single overhead shot (the first of her house series, “bedroom”). they floored me. when i discovered that canning’s first feature length film “we were wolves, ” was slotted to premiere at tiff on september 9th, i was excited, and curious .
the wolves, who hail from beaumont but relocated to houston a few years ago, fill a niche that has been left wanting in recent years. where edm and rap have become the norm, this band' s brand of in - your - face rock isn’t as readily accessible as it once was. lucky for houston fans, the wolves have plans to keep howling away, and ruin your weekend is just a starter .
last october, our small but mighty cast and crew was about to start shooting at a cottage on stony lake. less than a year later, we are about to celebrate our world premiere at the 2014 toronto international film festival. we set out to tell a great story and have an amazing time doing it. [ … ]

could have been around a hundred and fifty years ago, and passed through the landscape as a beaver - trapping tough with jim bridger or jedediah smith, before coal barons, before soda ash and oil, before mormons, before you could stand outside and watch satellites pass through the night sky or silhouettes kissing in warm apartment windows, when this history was wild and new, you could have just pointed and named something of permanence, a mountain, a river - - at least a creek - - after yourself. or they would have named it for you, a permanent mark, just for being here .

important emerging writer
comes a surprising and expansive collection of stories, steeped in the lore of the frontier but unmistakably fresh and of our time. when we were wolves roams over a west we never knew existed - - colonized by rogues and tricksters, custer impersonators, firefighters
we self - funded the production and then we got the ontario arts council grant which helped us get through post production. it was a 14 day shoot. and all of us just camped out on the island, living in the cottages there. it was really us being out in the woods together, tromping through the forest to eat a meal around the fire, and then tromping back and shooting another scene .
“it’s just a little appetizer for what’s to come, ” vocalist / guitarist drew haught says of the ep. “we are working on our full - length currently and are excited to see where it takes us. ”

i know, it is very masculine! and it’s not like i set out to make a real man’s man story, because also there’s a lot of feelings being felt. but i feel like if you’re writing a story about brothers and the kind of abusive alcoholic father who ruled them and shaped them in the men they became – and then you put them in the woods – it’s manly. but i also think it’s a film about family mythologies, like the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. that’s the bare bones of it .
when i came with my short “bedroom” in 2008, i didn’t know what the hell i was doing. it was my first time even coming to toronto. the last few years that i’ve been able to go, save the talent lab year because we missed the first four or five days of the festival, my goal has always been to see as many movies as i can .
in the first of three interviews with canadian female directors at tiff, i spoke to canning about navigating the festival, finding confidence as a filmmaker and directing her first sex scene .
it’s a very masculine movie, which is an interesting choice for your first feature .
well peter howell wrote this really nice piece in the toronto star. he profiled our film and the new film “the good lie” by phillipe falardeau, who did “monsieur lazhar” which i loved so much. i love jean - marc vallee, i love all those french canadian guys. but i also like celeb spotting .
the performances in your film are so great. how do you work with actors ?
i used to think a lot about it, like when i went to the director’s lab at the cfc, they really hammered that in. and i read like a judith weston book on directing and the theories of it, and trying to use action verbs and bla bla bla. all that prep is great and it’s good to have it in your bones, but i find the more i’ve been doing it the more instinctually i’ve been directing. the first film i made, i didn’t even understand the concept, like “i know the actor is doing, not what i want them to do? ”
as a female director too, it’s like, you don’t want to be demanding, but you need to get what you want .
it’s not ruling with an iron fist with your cast and crew. it’s being really competent and really open and supportive of your team so that they support you. i don’t yell in my life in general, but would certainly never yell at anyone on set. unless it was to get out of the way of a falling light. you’re fucked if you lose the faith of your crew i think it’s important to build the best team around you and then just make sure that they know how much you love them .
it’s like with a relationship, letting things fester is death. i think i’m actually better at addressing problems in work situations than i am in relationships. i also think it’s really important to know what you want. like being wishy - washy, or uncertain or expressing a lack of confidence doesn’t help anybody .
when steve was breaking down over the dad’s ashes, that was intense. his mom passed away that year. it was remarkable to be a part of that, but i wasn’t bawling at the monitor. i was more, “when i yell cut i’m gonna go in there and hug him. ”
yeah they do that in “8 mile. ” and then they’re having sex, and a certain point i was like “i don’t know when i should cut. ”
are they gonna orgasm? i just wanted to see where it would go. so eventually peter did kind of like, “come, ” and i waited the appropriate amount of time and then i yelled cut. and all of us just burst out laughing .

ruin your weekend begins with “home, ” an uptempo rocker about avoiding isolation and the feelings of loneliness that can be associated with one’s residence. though he doesn’t consider himself to be the most social person, haught says that it’s nice to be distracted by friends and loved ones when he’s feeling down .
“sometimes the last thing that you want is to be left alone, ” haught says of the track. “you might need people around you and things to take you away from your own thoughts. being left to your own devices can sometimes be a bad thing. ”
“home” sets the pace for ruin your weekend, which doesn’t ease off for its remaining 11 minutes. the ep crashes through listeners’ headphones and stereos and forgoes the kind of polish one might expect from a studio album for rawness .

these are short stories about misfits in a small town in eastern wyoming. the main character in most stories is a school teacher who bounces from town to town after he succeeds in alienating the more proper citizens of each town he works in. the title story is about a basketball team formed in a prison that travels around the state playing other teams as a rehabilitation effort. there are also some great stories about fire fighting and impulsive drunken marriages in reno. mr. billman writes extremely well and has obviously lived many of the stories. this is his first published book; several of the stories would definitely merit five stars. i look forward to his next book .
jon billman writes in vivid color. he has just enough detail to keep my eyes on the page, but not so much that i can' t daydream my self into some reflective thought and ponder what it is that the story invokes for me. i especially like the sense i get of his voice in the telling; good story tellers have this gift of the double personal. theirs and ours. billman has a knack for writing about women without making us mere backstory; his character
ash

billman' s stories are very vivid, exciting, and fresh. i read this book with great interest and enjoyment and i can' t wait to see more !
