April 4th, 2012THE CFF IS BACK 
Wednesday, April 4, 2012 -- The 2012 edition of the Canadian Film Fest wrapped up this past weekend after four days of screening films from some of the freshest voices in Canada. Films such as WAITING FOR SUMMER and A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE screened to sold-out audiences. In addition to a successful run, A LITTLE BIT ZOMBIE was picked up by Anchor Bay Entertainment for distribution during the festival. “The Royal was buzzing for four days reminding us all of how important and robust the Canadian film industry is, “said Bern Euler, Head of the Canadian Film Fest. “The cherry on top is being able to award filmmakers at the end of it all.
