Before Midnight's stellar work for the Greek tourist board and Moby's mission to help indie film-makers
Get us to the Greeks
Director Richard Linklater was pretty smart about his filming locations for the low-budget Before Midnight . In fact, this latest production sets the bar high for product placement in indie movies, though the film's so light and charming you can forgive it any brazen advertising. But, make no mistake, you too can now stay in the Before Midnight suite at the luxury Costa Navarino resort, where the couple stay in the movie. Interestingly, Linklater was brave enough to use the location as the setting for a monumental argument between lovers Jesse and Celine, played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. But in general, the film is a great advertisement for the sunlit heaven of Messenia in the southern Peloponnese, an area of Greece the characters mention by name several times during the film.

A dignified comic actor in farce and on TV, and a dedicated disability campaigner alongside her husband, Brian Rix
The acting career of Elspet Gray, who has died aged 83, was obscured but not extinguished by being so closely bound up with her marriage to the farceur Brian Rix. In 1951, Gray gave birth to a daughter, Shelley, who had Down's syndrome. In later life she was active alongside her actor-manager husband after he left the stage in 1977 to work for people with learning disabilities – initially through presenting a BBC television series, and then as secretary general of Mencap. However, she made periodic returns to the stage and maintained a screen presence: in 1979, for instance, she was a paediatrician guest in Fawlty Towers, and in 1994 the first bride's mother in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
As well as bringing up her subsequent three children, she visited Shelley every week in the residential...

Although Halloween is over, the people of Victoria, BC will have another year to get ready for Giggling Iguana Productions’ next exciting piece, Dracula. Founder Ian Case will be partnering with Launch Pad Productions’ David Radford and Christina Patterson to tackle Bram Stoker’s seminal classic.
“They were both involved in my very first Iguana production ‘Charley's Aunt,’ and I've always enjoyed working with them,” says Case.
Giggling Iguana puts on a site-specific horror-themed theatre production every Halloween for everyone to enjoy. The company started in 1998 with Case, University of Victoria English and Theatre grad, at the helm. After some initial hiccups, he found working with friends and colleagues, whose work he admired, to be of a better fare. After some campaigning to the people managing Craigdarroch Castle, he was allowed to produce shows at this venue starting in 2000.
Case's success with shows like H.G. Well’s War of the Worlds,...
