ANNOYING
Did I learn my lesson? Probably not!
IN MEMORY OF GRANT FAITHFUL (1984-2024)
The main character of this film, Grant Faithful, passed away on August 1, 2024, in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). He was only forty years old. Grant I knew was a lovely person, a reliable friend, and, of course, an extremely talented songwriter. And he was very honest. I saw a friend in him and nobody could convince me that he would not qualify to be an angel now. The weight he had to carry on his shoulders was huge and would kill the strongest men, but he carried it with dignity. I will never forget when I met him for the first time. It was in Alexandra Park in Toronto. There was hope in his eyes. Sooner or later, Life will crush all of us, but what counts are our acts of love, kindness, friendship, compassion, and generosity. Grant Faithful had them all.
Rest in peace, my Native brother! And shine!
ABOUT THE FILM
Made in a bastard genre of "musdocal", where cinema verite "unnaturally" breeds with music videos, the film follows Grant, a Cree "Indian" who grew up in foster homes and in his adult years embraced drifting as a lifestyle. He has the zeal to grab life by the horns but all the odds are against him. Music seems to be the solution, music by "Annoying".
