Marina recently saw the premier of Cameron Labine's new film Mountain Men and loved it saying it's "not only an interesting story of brotherly bonding but also a movie that brilliantly mixes comedy and drama in unexpected ways."
This humour shines through in the exclusive clip below which deftly sets the two estranged brothers up as out of their element. I can only image the adventure that follows is harrowingly hilarious.

If you need proof that everyone is entitled to a second chance, at least in the world of movie making, you need took no further than Cameron Labine. I hated, and I mean despised, Labine's Control Alt Delete a few years ago (I know the idea of a guy who, quite literally has sex with his computer, might sound like fun, but let me assure you, it is anything but) but the concept of his follow-up feature, also starting his famous and generally very funny brother, Tyler Labine, sounded too good to pass up.

Wff’s Director of Programming and industry veteran Paul Gratton has this to say about the 2014 lineup: "The Whistler Film Festival continues to be a must-attend event for hip, young film buffs and emerging filmmakers, and we are pleased to carve out our own unique niche by offering an impressive selection of Canadian premieres. This year's titles will cast a wide net in terms of subject matter, and our Summit will complement our film programming by addressing key challenges and opportunities facing the industry this year. Wff will have something for everyone.”
The Borsos Competition for Best Canadian Feature presented by the Directors Guild of Canada, British Columbia celebrates its 11th anniversary this year offering the second largest cash film festival prize for a Canadian film in the country, with additional awards for Best Performance, Best Screenwriting and Best Direction.
Opening the Borsos competition this year will be the World Premiere of Cameron Labine’s BC filmed comedy "Mountain Men" starring Chace Crawford and Tyler Labine as estranged brothers who journey to their family cabin in the middle of winter. When the cabin accidentally burns to the ground, what started as a fun weekend quickly goes from bad to worse. The brothers find themselves fighting for survival as they perilously try to find their way down the mountain, all while rehashing family memories and challenged by sibling rivalry.

The bear attack footage was shot in Squamish, BC.

A few days ago, E1 Entertainment, a Canadian distributor, confirmed on its YouTube account that it will distribute Cameron Labine's Control Alt Delete, a comedy that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival two years ago. However, no release date has been announced for this film.
Synopsis:
It's 1999 and lovable computer geek Lewis Henderson (Tyler Labine) is dumped by his long time girlfriend Sarah (Laura Bertram). So he does what any young urban slacker would: work less and watch Internet porn more. With the added pressures of his buggy Y2K software and repeated romantic rejection, Lewis discovers that the website images no longer turn him on and thus begins his strangely satisfying sexual relationship with the machine itself.
But all honeymoons must end and Lewis’s eye starts to wander from hisdependable home desktop. His desire for newer, sexier models grows until hefinds himself copulating with co-worker’s CPUs.
