6:30 pm Monday 26 January 2009 Last Call At The Gladstone Hotel
The short film Hollow and Last Call At The Gladstone Hotel with the filmmakers by phone from Toronto.It's a story that would take more than five years to see to completion [and win a Gemini], with all the main characters firmly in place - from the developers who buy the hotel to the staff who have been around for decades to the low-income residents who worry they will be forced to find new affordable places to live and finally to the new owners who try to make the best out of a very difficult situation.
The Gladstone Hotel was built in 1889, and is the oldest continuously operating hotel in Toronto.
