Gord Short Film & Poetry Question (At The Quinte Hotel) - let me out - 02-11-2006

this may have been discussed here before, but i couldn't find any mention of it. i was watching the independent movie channel the other night...and they were showing indie short films.

there was one that i caught the middle to end of, in which gord does a poem and plays the part of a bar patron who knocks a guy out in the film. i can't recall all the details of the short film, but there are a few shots of a glass of beer, the foam in the beer and gord describing it...then he recites the poem to the rest of the bar from a little pocket book he has...at one point he's sitting on top of the guy he knocked out...

anyway, does anyone know the name of this short film, so i can be on the lookout for it and watch it in it's entirety. i'd like to get it on tape this time. i thought it was really well done. i enjoyed gord's "performance" and poetry as well.

if anyone has any info they would like to share about it, please let me know. thanks very much. :wink:

I believe it is called At the Quinte Hotel.

I came across this a few weeks ago. Here's the IMDb Link.

awesome! thanks very much for that chris :thumb: i'd made the assumption that it was gord's poem, but i still love his peroformance and his recital, with the voiceover. great job!

it's good to see it again! thanks!

Yeah, i'm disappointed i hadn't seen it until now. Thanx, chris. I love the narration from Purdy(it sounds like him, anyway), and gord did a pretty good job, too. I think it captured the scene pretty well and I always love those little logic circles.
