REEL | 'September 5' Relives the Munich Massacre x WFF 2024

"They're all gone."
John Magaro Ben Chaplin Tim Fehlbaum | September 5 | Whistler Film Festival 2024
Whistler Film Festival
September 5 dramatizes the horrific 1972 Munich massacre hostage crisis at the 1972 Summer Olympics in West Germany from the perspective of the ABC Sports newsroom's real-time live coverage. Swiss director Tim Fehlbaum tries to set aside political history in order to relive the real-life events raw in the moment from an outside viewpoint.

SCREEN | Nick Kroll Follows His 'Olympic Dreams'

"You made me feel so warm."
Nick Kroll Alexi Pappas Jeremy Teicher | Olympic Dreams
IFC Films
Shot completely on location inside the Athletes Village without a crew during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, married filmmaking couple Jeremy Teicher and Alexi Pappas have basically made a semi-improvised hangout movie set in an ultra-exclusive setting. With unprecedented access from the IOC through an artist-in-residence program, Olympic Dreams artfully captures the spirit and in-between moments of the games.

Read my UBC campus profile and interview for The Ubyssey student newspaper written by senior culture writer Taylor Loren (who I interviewed last year for CBC News).

Olympics: Men's Hockey x Czech Republic vs. Latvia

Olympic Men's Hockey: Czech Republic 5 Latvia 2 at Canada Hockey Place on February 19.

Canada Hockey Place | Vancouver 2010

Kathy and I were walking around False Creek in the pavillion area by Canada Hockey Place (aka GM Place) and this random lady (apparently she works for the NHLPA) offered us free Olympic men's hockey tickets to the Czech Republic vs. Latvia game. She said she had tickets to the Victory Ceremony and could not go. The game was already in progress and half way over. After a thorough security check, we got in and saw the very end of the second period, but go to see the entire third period for free. We were in the lower bowl, row 19 right behind the goal line. It was awesome.
