FARM FILM REPORT

There never was a film and television "industry" in Toronto, really. It was an artificial beast constructed and supported by U.S. companies with some indigenous production thrown in. Now that things have settled down, all we have left is... nothing, which just goes to show you there never was anything much.

Playback Magazine continues to publish, and in a new glossy format, but there is not a lot happening in the business for them to report. Executives, and amazing ones at that, are tracked moving about the various companies as though they were pieces on a chess board -- a soggy piece of cardboard with faded squares and chewed corners.

Absolutely nothing to report, sir.
