Control Alt Delete Begins Principal Production in Vancouver

Mon, 7 May 2007 21:00:00 PDT

Hard Drive Films has begun principal photography on their quirky romantic comedy, CONTROL ALT DELETE. Filming takes place in and around Vancouver.

Writer/Director Cameron Labine (Room, Chemistry) is marking his feature film debut with CONTROL ALT DELETE, a script he developed through the BC Film Screenwriting Internship with mentor Bruce Sweeney, and with assistance from Story Consultant Gary Fisher and director mentor Lynne Stopkewich.

In this unusual comedy, it's 1999 and computer geek Lewis Henderson is dumped by his longtime girlfriend. So he does what any young urban slacker would: work less and beat off more to Internet porn. But with the added pressures of his buggy Y2K software and repeated romantic rejections, Lewis discovers that the website images no longer turn him on. Thus begins his strangely satisfying sexual relationship with the machine itself.

CONTROL ALT DELETE stars Tyler Labine (Boston Legal, Marine Life, Fly Boys) and Sonja Bennett (Fido, Godiva's, Punch). The film is Produced by Stephanie Symns (Flower and Garnet, Girl Racers, Very Bad Men) and Executive Produced by Lynne Stopkewich (Kissed, Suspicious River, Lilith on Top).

The film is being produced with the support of Telefilm Canada and private investment.
