LIFE AND HARD TIMES OF GUY TERRIFICO (THE)
|
In 1971, Guy Terrifico was at the zenith of his career. Moments later, in a blaze of whiskey, pills, cancelled shows and gun shots, his career was over, and so -- allegedly -- was his life. At least so everyone thought until something truly weird happened: 30 years after his "death," a new Guy Terrifico album is released. Fondly remembered by his contemporaries, such as Kris Kristofferson, Ronnie Hawkins, Levon Helm and Merle Haggard, Guy's life story is told through archival footage and modern-day interviews with his old cohorts.

Michael Mabbott
Director
After graduating from King's College, in Nova Scotia, Michael Mabbott worked as a freelance journalist and humour columnist. Ultimately disenchanted with journalism, he began writing Cabbage Soup, a fictional memoir later adapted for the screen. Mabbott's other screen credits include First Date, the tale of a hilariously bad blind date chronicled through security cameras, and Thumb, a feature-length black comedy about a failed comic/serial killer. Mabbott's current projects include Ouch, a romantic comedy about an accident-prone man, Mr. Delicious, an epic comedy described as "King Lear meets Martha Stewart," and a mock-umentary sitcom called Happy Lucky. The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico marks his feature-film directorial debut.
