We are in the midst of a very large, very important project. Local Country/Christian group
The Phill Botting Band has asked Poor Fishy to produce three videos for their upcoming
performance at Hamilton Place on February 2, 2010. We already have one video in the can, a
train montage for their song Weekend Train.
Currently we are in the process of gathering footage for an interview/interaction with the
band during the rehearsal process at Grant Avenue Studios with Producer Bob Doidge and in and
about their home base of Caledonia.
After we finish the interview/interaction segment we will work on the third and final piece, a background video for the performance of their song Remember When.
Phill Botting was the 2008 winner of the CMT Karaoke Star contest last year
and The Phill Botting Band recently got radio play with their amazing
tribute to Canada's fallen soldiers, Our Soldier's Home.

to The Staircase Cafe Theatre on Wed. Nov. 3 to see for yourself.
Also, on Thursday, Nov. 4, the next installment of JUXT will make its debut. We were thrilled to kick off this experimental project last year with our segment,
Splitsville. We look forward to seeing where this year's filmmakers will take it.
The Hamilton Film Festival takes place Nov. 2-7 at The Staircase Cafe Theatre - 27 Dundurn St. N, Hamilton Ontario. Check out www.hamiltonfilmfestival.com for full details.
