An Evening with Writer/Director INGRID VENINGER,
Universal Studios Screenwriter-in-Residence
And the CAST of THE ANIMAL PROJECT
INNIS TOWN HALL (2 Sussex Avenue)
As part of its Universal Studios Screenwriter-in-Residence Program, the public is invited to a special evening with writer/director Ingrid Veninger, and the cast of her most recent feature film, THE ANIMAL PROJECT, which had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has been traveling festivals around the globe.
“The evening will be about process”, says Ingrid Veninger, “we’ll screen THE ANIMAL PROJECT, but beforehand I’ll take the audience through the experience of my first meetings with the actors, and the development of the screenplay, which was very particular to this project.”
THE ANIMAL PROJECT is a dark comedy centered on a single father, his teenage son, and large furry animals, which tells the story of a Toronto theatre director who attempts to push a group of eager young performers out of their comfort zones.
This event will take place in the newly renovated Innis Town Hall, a 200-seat state-of-the-art cinema located in the heart of University of Toronto’s campus. Following extensive renovations, totaling $3.5 million, this will be the first public event hosted in this revitalized space.
The film cast from THE ANIMAL PROJECT will participate in an interactive introduction, and a discussion will follow the screening, moderated by Cinema Studies Professor and Programmer, Kay Armatage.

Tracy, a lonely college freshman in New York, is having neither the exciting university experience nor the glamorous metropolitan lifestyle she envisioned. But when she is taken in by her soon-to-be stepsister, Brooke—a resident of Times Square and adventurous gal about town—she is rescued from her disappointment and seduced by Brooke’s alluringly mad schemes. Mistress America is Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig’s new comedy about dream-chasing, score-settling, and cat stealing.
Ten years ago, The Squid and the Whale premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and Baumbach won the directing and the screenwriting awards. In 2012, he teamed up with Gerwig to create the enchanting Frances Ha, and their magic continues with Mistress America. Gerwig elevates her craft to new heights and imbues Brooke with fragile confidence and infectious charm. As Tracy, newcomer Lola Kirke is a revelation. Featuring incisive dialogue and boundless wit, Mistress America is a ride through New York that captures the hopes and dreams (some shattered) of those who are drawn there.

is a 2012 American independent drama film written and directed by Ben Lewin.
Mark O’Brien spent the majority of his life confined to a bed after contracting polio as a young child. It was, however, one challenge in particular that led to ‘The Sessions’ starring John Hawkes and Helen Hunt, Inspired by O’Brien’s article, ‘On Seeing a Sex Surrogate’, , the film documents his experience with a sex surrogate (Hunt) as he discovers sexuality within the confines of his disability. The premise alone shines light on the sexual challenges faced by the disabled, and see effort and patience required to overcome them. O’Brien begins his journey as a self- conscious bundle of nerves, but his wit and intelligence quickly begin to shine through. In the end, Hunt’s character has a lasting positive impact on Mark’s life. The movie and the people on which it was based paint an inspirational picture of courage and determination. From the starring roles to supporting actors, the film is wonderfully cast. Overall, O’Brien’s experience is shared in such a way that the viewer grows to care for and admire him, empathizing with Mark rather than pitying him; finding the humour in his challenges that Mark himself displays. It’s easy for people to fear, judge and dismiss that which they don’t understand and it’s movies like this that help bridge the gap between the average person and the fragile members of society that exist outside the box.
