Tonight 6-8pm at the local Town Hall - Sue Rose and Friends Pitching Thespian Ideas

 

To that end, Rose and team have sat down with around 50 people—from members of the arts and theatre communities, to folks like Matt Pryde with the municipality, to realtors in the area—to talk ideas and possibilities.

They’re also hosting an event this evening, May 26, from 6-8 pm in the Tantramar council chambers. Food will be provided, and everyone is welcome to attend to share ideas, wants and needs, says Rose.

“ I think you always have to start with the why. Why do we need this? Once you know the why, the how is just a series of step-by-step. But we need to know why from everybody.”

“Going to the movies is an all encompassing social event. And when you go into a theater and you are surrounded with the energy of other people and you are surrounded by the film, ’cause it’s on a big screen with a great sound system, you end up having a physical experience that you don’t have sitting in front of a digital projection or a computer screen or an iPad and the energy level of that group of people is unbelievable.” - Thaddeus Holownia

The Concept

Operation Feed (formerly Operation Feed Saint John) was founded by Patrick Gordon, a retired army veteran of three Afganistan tours. After serving, Gordon looked for ways to get involved in the Saint John Region - he was inspired to make a difference after learning children in poverty often rely on their school to provide their next meal. This moment inspired Gordon to begin feeding the bellies of the most vulnerable.

Gordon’s momentum continued, which lead to Operation Feed SJ becoming Operation Feed, expanding the current mission to include providing support and purpose for our regions veterans and emergency workers.

One of the ways we are looking to support our veterans and first responders is by creating wellness centres. We aim to open 158 centres across Canada, each named after a fallen Canadian Soldier from the Afghanistan War. These Wellness Centres will have gyms, licensed professionals (therapists, peer to peer support workers etc) and be a gathering point for hope and purpose.

"​Most veterans when we leave service, especially ones that served overseas, they come home feeling empty, feeling without a purpose and needing a place to put their energy,” said Gordon. “I searched and searched and searched when I came home and I couldn’t find it, and I found it now – I feel like this is what I’m supposed to be doing." - Patrick Gordon

Inside the Mind of Filmmaker Eric Merola (Full Interview) In this rare and unfiltered long-form interview, documentary filmmaker Eric Merola sits down for his first-ever candid conversation covering his entire career—no edits, no filters, just raw honesty. Spanning over 15 years of independent filmmaking, Eric recounts his journey beginning with the groundbreaking Burzynski (2010), followed by Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II (2013), the controversial Second Opinion: Laetrile at Sloan-Kettering (2014), The God Cells: A Fetal Stem Cell Journey (2016), the explosive exposé The Andorra Hustle (2020), and his most recent deep dive into biotech innovation, Ukraine: Fetal Stem Cell Pioneers (2023). Known for exploring disruptive and often controversial subjects that question institutional narratives, Eric shares what drives his work, how he chooses his topics, and the unique challenges of remaining fully independent. With a fellow documentary filmmaker conducting the interview (Ryan Matta), this conversation dives deeper than any mainstream media format could—offering rare insight into the mindset and mission behind his body of work. 🔔 Subscribe to stay updated on future interviews, future documentaries, and behind-the-scenes content.
