www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 18, 2006 - 31 Oakville screen writer earns accolades Oakville's Ian O'Neill and writing partner John Gorski earned Best Screenplay for Eden's Shame at the Pocono Mountains Film Festival. Their historical drama got the nod at the Aug. 5 festival, which was founded two years ago to give independent filmmakers a forum to present their films and screenplays to a wider audience of professionals in the industry, and to introduce new innovative films to residents and visitors in the Pocono Mountains region in Pennsylvania. "I attended a wonderful Walk of Fame celebration party, learned a great deal about filmmaking, distribution, how to raise money and much more through the workshops offered at the festival," said O'Neill. "It was a win, win, win situation for me." O'Neill first met Gorski on an online writing group. "John posted the first act of the screenplay and I asked him if I could take a crack at the story. He said yes and I couldn't be happier with the outcome," said O'Neill. "We worked well together." Eden's Shame tells the story of Michael and Anna, who believe they've escaped the tyranny in Slovakia by escaping to Pennsylvania. When miners in McAdoo decide to strike, all of that changes and viewers see the Lattimer Massacre of 1897 through Michael's eyes. CDC open house Saturday Continued from page 29 went the performer route and I went the teaching route." The family love for dance has not been lost on Lupien's kids, either ­ all four of them belong to the CDC and "love to dance," he says. The CDC enters five or six competitions in North America every year, and for the first time last year, 30 of its dancers attended the World Dance Championships in Germany. Canada came away from that competition with 24 medals. Lupien, who specializes in jazz, lyrical and tap, headed the jazz choreography. "We were very, very happy, very proud," he said, noting that the top three male soloist jazz dancers were from the CDC. "We had kids from this studio who went to Germany and came away champions from a world event. It was a really good experience for our dancers." While he was at the competition, Lupien was asked by the Russian Federation of Dance to come to Moscow to share his choreography skills with teachers there. "It was such a fantastic experience," he said of the trip, from which he returned from earlier this month. "It's always interesting to be able to go to other parts of the world and share what you know about dance and see the way things are done there."

The grand opening is Saturday, Aug. 19 from 12 ­ 5 p.m. and will feature an open house, gifts, food and a chance to win prizes.
