MUMBAI: A group of independent filmmakers in Windsor will team up from 21 to 23 January to showcase their latest films in a mini-festival. The WEx3 2011 Cinema Showcase will be the regional premiere of new dramatic films from Otto Buj, Nick Shields, Cameron Hucker and Chris Pickle.

Shields and Hucker produced Planting Vines, the first feature-length film from Suede, Windsor‘s top film and video production house. The film tells the story of a young architect suffering from a terminal disease who struggles to finish his last project.

The other features are Buj‘s Primordial Ties, a coming-of-age story of a 19-year-old woman and Pickle‘s Saving Grace, a psychological thriller.

With the exception of Planting Vines, the other films were entirely written, filmed and financed in Windsor and Essex County. Parts of the Suede film were filmed in Montreal.
