GEORGE TOLES is a Distinguished Professor of Film and Literature at the University of Manitoba. He is the author of A House Made of Light: Essays on the Art of Film, Paul Thomas Anderson, and the forthcoming Curtains of Light: Essays on the Metaphysics of Theatrical Space on Film. He has been posting mini-narratives called Status Updates on Facebook every day since 2009. Two collections of these updates, with accompanying illustrations by artist collaborators, will be published in the next year.George has written or co-written the screenplays for numerous feature films made by Canadian director, Guy Maddin. These include Archangel, Careful, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, The Saddest Music in the World, Brand Upon the Brain, My Winnipeg, and Keyhole. He also wrote the story and original screenplay for Canada's first stop-motion animated feature film, Edison and Leo. He lives in Winnipeg, MB. ROBERT FLEMING is a visual artist. His practice includes painting, printmaking, and other media (including film). He worked as a lawyer for a number of years, while maintaining an art practice, and is a co-founder of Mirabo Press, a printmaking studio and edition facility in Buffalo, New York. His work, which has tended toward the representational and figurative, is a reaction to living in an era that always seems to de-prioritize our shared humanity. The images come from observing and absorbing material elements in both his small, personal universe and in the wider world, including the omnipresent media. Some of the themes he is interested in are the sense that people are off balance (off kilter) in their lives, the difficulty of meaningful and sustained personal interconnections, the human disruptions caused by economic and other crises, and the cost of violence and the myth of the ''good war.'' Bob lives in New York City.
