Awesome Friday

2020 has been a hell of a year. With theatres ending up being an unsafe place to be during an ongoing worldwide pandemic you'd think it would be a harder year for film, but looking back it's clear that this year has been an as vibrant and diverse year for film as any other. Of course, the difference is that without theatres, there have been far fewer blockbusters and far more indie and middle-tier films.... https://awesomefriday.ca//matts-favourite-films-performer/
