Introduction

3. NASH-The Documentary on NBA All-Star Steve Nash Has Hit the
Canadian Market
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Vancouver, B.C.-May 1st, 2014) The much-anticipated feature-length documentary ‘NASH’ on
the life and career of 8-time NBA All-Star Steve Nash that debuted to a full house and rave
reviews at its first North American screening in Los Angeles in April-has made its way north to
Canada.
Now available for download on Video on Demand, iTunes and all other digital platforms across
Canada, the creative genius of director Michael Hamilton (Crunchtime Films) has resulted in a
compelling film that delves deep into Steve Nash’s many personas: Athlete, Philanthropist,
Family Man and NBA Legend. During filming, Hamilton was given unprecedented access to high
profile Nash fans, from President Barack Obama to actors Owen Wilson and Andy Garcia. Also
weighing on one of the NBA’s most prolific players are Oscar-winning director Ron Howard and
fellow athletes such as NBA champion Kobe Bryant and NBA All-Star Yao Ming.
Available on iTunes here:
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/movie/nash/id565961165?uo=4&at=11l7hx
In the film, Hamilton grants fans a 360-degree look into Steve Nash’s public persona as well as
his private life, giving then a glimpse of what drives one of the country’s most influential people,
both on-and-off the court. The story of Nash’s life, career and his innate drive to continue to
succeed in all avenues of his life will inspire viewers to examine the perceived limitations and
driving forces in their own lives.
Hamilton, known for his acclaimed documentary series ‘The Journey’, which chronicled the
success of some of North America’s high profile athletes on their way to the Major Leagues,
along with his versatile background in spearheading more than 20+ sports documentaries,
television series, specials and feature films over a span of 15 years, Hamilton weaves a narrative
on Nash that captivates the audience from the first frame to the end credits.

8. “Black Land” makes the Top 15 in Cinecoup Film Accelerator Project
Vancouver Filmmaker Shaine Jones and the Black Land team move to the next round
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Vancouver, B.C.-May 14, 2015) Thanks to tremendous fan support, Black Land has made the cut into the round of the
Top 15 contenders in the CineCoup Film Accelerator! From 120 films originally submitted, Black Land has moved another
step closer to being optioned for development, with the winner garnering up to $1 Million in production financing.
“We are honored and excited to have made it this far”, say producer and director Shaine Jones, “and are grateful to the
fans for their support. Being in the top 15 brings us a step closer to realizing our vision of seeing our film being made.”
The films that make it to the final 5 are chosen by the Cinecoup Board rather than fan vote. The competition increases as
the number of films are reduced and this next stage is critical to Black Land moving forward into the top 5. It is up to the
Black Land team to show how their film will resonate with audiences. Criteria for the top 5 include the marketability to
audiences as well as the project’s viability to be made into a feature film or episodic series.
The Cinecoup Film Accelerator is an independent studio that supports independent projects and creative talent by helping
film makers connect with untapped audiences. Each film advances through fan participation, which combines performance
indicators, voting and evaluation from
CineCoup producers. Based on which films make it through each round, CineCoup guarantees to option a minimum of five
projects and finance one project with (up to) $1 Million in production financing and a release in Cineplex Theatres.
SYNOPSIS
The films storyline was sparked by a terrifying incident that led to Shaine getting lost in the woods as a child. It didn’t
destroy his lifelong fascination for exploring the great outdoors, but instead, it gave him an idea: How quickly can the
forest turn on you; with darkness falling and the possibility of being chased by a supernatural monster?
“Black Land” tells the intriguing story of an environmental assessment gone wrong, creating the perfect opportunity for
unsuspecting scientists to fall prey to ancient evil while working on an oil pipeline survey. The twist and turns of the
characters and their plight keeps viewers on the edge of their seat, making them wonder what lies behind the serenity of
the tall forests-and they may not have to wait long to find out.

in feature films and television series for Disney, The Hallmark Channel, ABC Family, Lifetime, The Syfy Network,
CBC, CBS/CTV and the CW Network; rising Canadian star Peter Dacunha has quite the impressive pedigree for a
twelve year old. Now he can add working with critically acclaimed Hollywood talent to his curriculum vitae with
two films set to premiere at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival.
In ‘Remember’, Peter stars opposite Academy Award winner and Canadian screen legend Christopher Plummer as
the young boy Tyler who assists Plummer’s Zev on a train while Zev suffers from memory loss in a film about the
darkest chapter in modern history. Helmed by acclaimed Canadian director Atom Egoyan and produced by
Serendipity Point Films, the film will debut as a gala presentation during the Toronto Film Festival on September

In ‘Hellions’, a horror film set on Halloween, Peter plays Remy, the younger brother of protagonist Dora, a
pregnant teen who must deal with malevolent trick-or-treaters who have their own designs on her unborn child.
Directed by Bruce MacDonald and produced by Whizbang Films, ‘Hellions’ premieres on September 17th, 2015 at
9:30 pm EST at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto.
Considered to be an extraordinary talent, Peter displays true professionalism, maturity and talent that has gained
him the respect of industry peers and belies his true age. Proud of his Canadian heritage, Peter is passionate about
his craft and promoting the Canadian film industry. “Peter DaCunha stands out as one of the most talented young
actors I have known. He is an exceptional performer, a true professional, and has a warm and engaging
personality”, says Hellions director Bruce MacDonald.
Currently, Peter is starring in the short film “The Big Crunch”, the story of a boy named August who discovers the
universe will one day collapse and sets out on a magnificent adventure to unravel its mysteries.
Peter’s recent work also includes a starring role as the young Prince Charles of France on CW’s ‘Reign’ and
