Movie – The Martini Shot

The Martini Shot boasts internationally acclaimed actors Mathew Modine, John Cleese and Derek Jacobi as its stars, but it’s the film’s local connection that will likely pique the interest of Muskoka audiences most. The writer/director Stephen Wallis lives in Sprucedale; executive producer James Robson resides in Kearney and producer Mike Godfrey is a Huntsville native with family still living here. And this existential comedy about an ailing movie director shooting what he believes to be his final work of art is winning awards at film festivals all over the place (59 so far according to IMDB).

What starts out as a normal movie, ends up being an exploration of mortality and one’s profound effect on the world.
