Media Release: Film About McCauley Launching Sunday
For Immediate Release: Documentary Shows the Brighter Side of McCauley
McCauley is an inner city neighbourhood in Edmonton often viewed as an unsafe community. We always hear about the crime, the poverty, and various undesirable activities. However, there is another side to this community. One that is vibrant, diverse, and exciting.
Independent filmmaker Paula E. Kirman captures the brighter side of McCauley in the new documentary McCauley Moments. McCauley Moments features interviews with numerous area residents and business owners, who talk about why they chose to live and work in the area. It also documents close to a year in the life of the neighbourhood, through the many events that take place there.
“The intent of the project is to try to break through the stereotypes that are out there about McCauley,” says Kirman. “McCauley Moments will show people throughout Edmonton all of the wonderful things McCauley has to offer, like friendly neighbours, excellent shopping, and incredible events. It will hopefully encourage them to come visit the community, spend some time here, and maybe even move here or start a business here themselves.”
The film will be seen for the first time in front of an audience at a community celebration this weekend:
Date: Sunday, November 10
Time: 2 p.m.
Location: Commonwealth Recreation Centre, Room 4 (main floor, between the field and cashier)
McCauley Moments was produced with the assistance of McCauley Revitalization/City of Edmonton and The Works International Visual Arts Society.
After the launch, the 35 minute film will be available to be viewed online at the project’s website:
The event is free and the filmmaker and representatives from McCauley Revitalization and The Works will be in attendance.
