Gender Bending at the Leos

"The other day I was talking with somebody about the difficulty of
reviewing a film after you'd met the director. If you can't put a
human face to a film, or filmmaker, it's often easier to review
their films. You don't feel swayed by any softer, squishier
emotions. It's also far easier to be unkind. A case in point is the
Leo Awards, which are handed out every year to B.C. filmmakers and
their work. I've been hard on B.C. filmmakers in the past, and not
because I didn't think they deserved it, because they did. But there
are some fine offerings at this year's Leo Awards, so, I take it all
back."
