The Martini Shot – A Reel Alternatives Film Screening

This existential comedy follows an ailing movie director as he shoots what he believes to be his final work of art. What starts out as a normal movie, ends up being an exploration of mortality and one’s profound effect on the world. 

While The Martini Shot boasts internationally acclaimed actors Mathew Modine,  John Cleese and Derek Jacobi as its stars, it’s the film’s local connection that will likely pique the interest of Muskoka audiences most.  The writer/director Stephen Wallis lives in Sprucedale; executive producer James Robson resides in Kearney and producer Mike Godfrey is a Huntsville native with family still living here. And, according to IMDB the film has 59 wins at various film festivals in North American and Europe.
