MovieSet's videographer Quinn Bender and myself had the opportunity to sit down with Control Alt Delete director/writer Cameron Labine recently and talk about his film and the buzz it's been making. The picture has been picked up by Maximum Films International and a release schedule is being developed by their marketing peeps, but when the film played at the Toronto and Vancouver Film Festivals it generated sold out screenings and much acclaim. Set in the pre-Y2K days of 1999, Control Alt Delete is about a guy (played by Cameron's real-life brother Tyler Labine of Reaper fame) who does the nasty with computers, but it's also more than that as well. Labine sat down with us to talk about the journey he went on to make Control Alt Delete, the reaction he's seen to the film and what his future holds, and in the first of a three-part video interview that's exclusive to MovieSet, he'll fill you in on the basics of his movie. Click here to watch Cameron talk about the premise of Control Alt Delete, his mom's reaction upon seeing the movie in a crowded theater and how his brother felt about being filmed nearly nuds. Parts 2 and 3 will follow in the next couple of days.

Control Alt Delete gets reviewed at TIFF

Monica Bartyzel of collider.com gave a positive review of Control Alt Delete's recent screening at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival:

Balancing the nostalgia with the quirk, and adding a myriad of laughs, Control Alt Delete is a simple and straight-forward romp. Labine takes the material and presents it with a shrug. Yes, Lewis’ penis is a menace to computer cases everywhere, but while the subject matter is weird, the story is not. Think of it like American Pie – while those crazy kids were trying sex with a pie, or band equipment, they were still presented as run-of-the-mill teens. [more at source - collider.com]

Hear we are on set!

Well... since Lindsay was so sweet to share wireless internet access, I'll be inaugurating the project online by saying that this is quite possibly the most enjoyable group of Vancouver-based cast and crew I've worked with since Eve and the Firehorse. Cam Labine is spearheading a graciously vibrant production and guiding a stellar cast including his brother Tyler into a dark comedy of angst-ridden proportions. Vancouver is known for its angst-themed films... I've been on a few.

For those of you who are familiar with long hours in front of a computer, you will want to clean the dusty innards of your workstation after watching this film... \"Hard drive\" will have a new connotation attached to it.

We are passed the halfway mark in production on this fine, albeit rare, sunny day in Burnaby, British Columbia. Most of our day involves covering scenes inside a makeshift surveillance van. As a production sound mixer, the biggest challenge of the day is dealing with our location being positioned next to a major roadway. We are at the Knowledge Network facility and shooting indoors for the latter part of the day.

Bonus... all work days are 12 hours or less!

Cheers,

Roderick
