Between playing for the Toronto Marlies and weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Rich Clune already has a busy schedule. Now mix in making movies.
Nearly three years ago, when Clune’s hockey career brought him back to his hometown of Toronto, he enrolled in acting classes taught by John Riven, the co-founder of a former New York City theatre company with actress and seven-time Emmy award winner Allison Janney.
Under Riven’s mentorship, Clune joined other actors at Milestone Studios in Toronto's east end to learn, perform — and to escape. There, he met Cameron Murton, a Toronto-based cinematographer. The pair bonded and Clune convinced Murton to work on a film project with him this past summer.
