www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday January 23, 2009 - 31 Popular, less familiar pieces on bill Reduce Reuse Recycle Continued from page 30 Baroque fans should expect a high-calibre concert, according to Potvin, as all of the musicians are professionals. They come from across southern Ontario to perform with ensemble. Morgan said anyone who is partial to the major composers of the Baroque will enjoy the concert. "Anyone who likes Bach and Handel will like this concert," she said. "I also think students will like it. I think the (Bach) Suite and Handel's Water Music are two more well-known pieces that are more accessible to a general audience. Then there's the more obscure Boyce pieces, so it gives them (students) the opportunity to hear music by a composer in the same era they might not have heard before." The Oakville Chamber Ensemble's concert Tutti Fluti runs Saturday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Simon's Anglican Church, 1450 Litchfield Rd. Refreshments will be served at intermission. Single tickets cost $25 for adults, $15 for students and seniors and $5 for youths 15 and under. Mini subscriptions to three concerts cost $65 for adults, $40 for students and seniors and $12 for youths 15 and under. Tickets are available at 905825-9740, info@oakville-ensemble.ca and at the door. For information, visit www.oakvilleensemble.ca. Casey brothers enjoy working as team Continued from page 30 quickly made apparent in the 13minute film. There are so many Canadian motifs, in fact, that Lyndon concedes, "It was kind of a backhanded dig at American patriotism." "As Canadians, we travel a lot," added Conor. "So let's make some space travellers that are kind of in this limbo-esque area where Canada is culturally." As Canadian filmmakers and actors in a very American-saturated film market, the brothers are proud to have made a truly Canadian film. "Captain Coulier is Canadian from the ground up and look at the product that came out of it," said Dillon, who has garnered much fame as Trevor Lemonde in CBC's hockey soap opera, MVP. He also plays Ryan in the CBC's new comedy-drama, Being Erica. "It's way better than pretending we are American, which a lot of Canadian television and movies try to do, even though I think they are starting to evolve out of that lately." Although they all started out with tennis, the Casey brothers always relished film. Dillon holds a bachelor of environmental science from McGill University and a master's degree in economics from the University of Toronto. Conor went to Ohio State University on a tennis scholarship before dabbling in creative writing and journalism. Lyndon graduated from Ryerson's film studies program last spring and currently works as a full-time film editor at VMG Cinematic in Toronto. It was in 2006 when they really connected in film, however. As close-knit brothers, being able to be brutally honest and critical of one another is their not-sosecret secret, they say. "We are overly honest with each other," said Dillon. "Being on set, these directors have to be polite with you to an extent, whereas with my brothers, that all goes out the window." It seems to be working. Operating together under Taryn Leigh Films, which is named after their sister, the brothers have recently completed a Bravofactbacked short entitled, Shirtgun Guy, which pokes fun at instant YouTube fame. The film is set to premiere on Bravo in six months. Captain Coulier (Space Explorer) has also cemented the brothers with a development deal for a series with CTV Space. The pilot is complete and three episodes are in post-production. Their next goal is to complete a feature-length script this year. But for the time being, the Casey brothers are happy enough to be working together, with Sundance not only the seal of confirmation, but the push to keep the momentum flowing to further make film. "I knew from day one getting into this business that my goal was to be making movies with my brothers," said Dillon. "Sundance is validation." Captain Coulier (Space Explorer) premiered at Sundance on Friday, Jan. 16. It is being shown at the festival until Saturday, Jan. 24.
