I went to the world premiere of "Citizen Duane" at the Toronto Film Festival last week. It was one of my favorite films (I saw over 30) and I plan to write some comments as soon as I can.

This Canadian entry stars Douglas Smith as Duane Balfour, a teenager on a mission to save his small town from its own ignorance. Michael Mabbott directed, in a story co-written by Robert DeLeskie and Jonathan Sobol.

In the meantime, I wanted to post some pictures I took at the Q&A after the screening.

This is Devon Bostick with the director and writer. Devon plays Maurie Balfour, the younger brother of the protagonist Duane Balfour. He provides some of the film's biggest laughs. I had a chance to talk to Devon afterwards and he was very down-to-earth and a bit shy. Really nice guy. He's only 14 but has appeared in 24 films, TV movies, and TV shows.
