SEAN CISTERNA BEGINS LONG RIDE HOME IN CALGARY, BRAZIL

Via Playback:

The kick-off to production on Canadian director Sean Cisterna’s new film had a bigger audience than most.

Production on the Canada-Brazil copro Long Ride Home (produced by Kyle Bornais and others) began in July at the Calgary Stampede in Alberta in front of 20,000 people, which, producers say, makes this the first narrative feature film to be shot at the annual event. That was followed by a shoot this past week in São Paulo at the Festa do Peão de Barretos, Brazil’s largest rodeo, where the production filmed sequences in front of a 40,000-person crowd.
