Thumbs Down has hit the festival circuits
Thumbs Down is a short film with the protagonist, Steve McIntosh being a lifer accountant who decided 25 years in, he needed to see if there wasn’t something more to life than calculators and columns. His company agreed to promote him. But there was one catch. Unbeknownst to Steve, his division was the “beard” company; a legitimate entity used to hide a crime syndicate. And because of his Steve’s special talent for moving money about, the head office wanted to move him to the more active “urban” division.
Trailer – Thumbs Down
This short film is Steve’s first day in his new position as he meets up with his new coworkers in a sketchy downtown bar (our thanks to the management of The Cameron House). It doesn’t take Steve long to figure out he’s in way over his head. Thumbs Down features Dan Willmott as Trigger, the highly unreliable hitman, and the short fused underworld flunky, Flannigan, played by Justin Hay. Tap members will recognize Rosey Tyler’s voice as the receptionist. Susie Burnett rounds out the cast as the syndicate master mind, Lorraine Lasky.
Thumbs Down was selected to compete in the TapFest in December. Please check out the full film at the Toronto Short Film Festival in March. It’s a virtual festival and you can see and support talented local and international filmmakers and their work.
