St. John’s rarely looks as good as it does here, in this energetic and ambitious project from the director / producer team of Christian Sparkes and Jordan Canning. Fitting in at university is one thing but proving yourself to the school wrestling team, your family and yourself, not to mention snagging your dream girl, is something else entirely. The story of how young Donny Fowler (played to perfection by Mark Power) goes from zero to (almost) hero will have you cheering by the time the titular ten days are up. Director Christian Sparkes brings a confident eye and brisk pace to this underdog story and was recently honoured with an Emerging Filmmaker Award from the Nickel Film Festival.
