So a friend messages me about some short film festival.. adult version of fairy tales at the NFB: National Film Board and sends me a link to where I can email for FREE tickets for two! Gotta love that! Score! I got 2 tickets!
So it turns out we are seeing.. A World of Shorts: Fairy Tale Redux. A very adult version of your popular fairy tales. Some were very obvious, some I had not heard the story so was a little lost and some were so subtle that i was like: which fairy tale is that?! Some were very literal and some were very artsy.

At the NFB which has this summer program, each week the theme has varied:

So it was 80 minutes and we saw about 6 short films. "Ella" which I know I saw at the Short Film Festival a few months ago was screened here as well. The actor, Anthony Head, playing the father was the teacher in the TV show "Buffy the vampire slayer" and he was the Nescafe Gold Blend coffee (in the UK) and Taster's Choice (in the US) commercial guy in the late 80's!! Gosh that makes me feel old!! haha!! Well apparently this short is in the works of becoming a full length film!

Then I grabbed a slice of the "Godfather" deep dish pizza from Pizzaiola.. my fave! Of course with some garlic dipping sauce!
