Directed by half-brothers Seth and Peter Scriver, it’s a freewheeling trip that bounces between the First Nations community of Shamattawa in northern Manitoba and Toronto in the 1980s and ’90s, specifically zeroing in on the funky downtown neighbourhood of Kensington Market. Seth Scriver, who made the animated 2013 road movie Asphalt Watches, was inspired to make the film by his older brother Peter, whom Seth describes as one of the best storytellers in the world. The best storytellers don’t always stay strictly true. So it is here, where we see Seth securing funding money from the NFG (it stands not for “No f—-ing good,” Seth says). The NFB — National Film Board — did not finance the film. The cartoon Seth flies to Shamattawa and attempts to lay down the requisite clean audio track of Peter’s various reminiscences. But because Peter shares a house with nine kids and a couple of dozen dogs, clean audio is a dream akin to world peace … or a Maple Leafs Stanley Cup win in our time.. –  Winnipeg Free Press
