Meet KING CHICKEN

If more people in Canada made films like Nicolas Bolduc makes films then more people in Canada would go see Canadian films. It's that simple.

I've just seen Bolduc's short film King Chicken and it made me laugh so hard it hurt. Then I watched it again. Same result. Bolduc has been a highly in-demand cinematographer for a few years now - he shot Kim Nguyen's Fantastic Fest award winning feature Truffe, among others - and now he's taking the lead himself.

Can't show you the whole thing, unfortunately, but I can share this brief teaser. Yeah, it's all this good. Pay attention to the level of detail in the costuming and art design. It's really something special.

How then will we see this gem?

Hoping to nail down some festival bookings in the short term and trying to get in touch with Bolduc. If we're lucky he'll let it out in public at some point ...

please upload it to the page!

My family and I saw this on TV when we were visiting Quebec City last summer. I've been periodically checking ever since to see if it is online. I don't know what Bolduc is gaining from keeping it under wraps. We loved the short. I'm sure this would get millions of hits on youtube. I've never heard of Bolduc. This would make him known worldwide...

Stop squandering this opportunity. This short was awesome! Do something with it.
