Trovare Films presents a screening of "Billy Runs Boston?" held at The Plaza Theatre in Calgary.
Tony Marra, a Toronto-based actor and runner, has ventured into the world of filmmaking with his debut feature film, "Billy Runs Boston?”. This thought-provoking film delves into various issues facing the running community, including cheating, bullying of cheaters, over-training while injured, the pervasive impact of social media, and the deeply sensitive topic of suicide. Amidst these themes, it also celebrates the profound rewards and sheer joy of running. Complex family dynamics play a pivotal role in weaving the narrative of the film, adding depth and emotion to the story.
The film is 76 minutes long.
