Third Culture launched last month with a screening party for THE FOREIGNER in the Distillery District. Over 300 people were in attendance to watch the film and dance to the beautiful sounds of Forro Nite, Primitiva, DJ Firecracker and DJ Drumspeak. A big thank you to Cabinet Furniture, Big Village, vanGray, the bands and all the volunteers for making this party a huge success!

Synopsis
A chance encounter with a beautiful woman in a cold alleyway lures Christopher, a mild mannered recluse, into a tropical underground party. Mesmerized by a crowd of two-step dancers, Christopher’s dancing reservations lead him to a critical misunderstanding that nearly ends his night in an awkward embrace.

Producer: Maya Annik Bedward

A mix of psychedelic sample-based sounds, bellowing vocals and raging drums, Petra Glynt is being hailed as Toronto’s answer to Grimes. The video made BlogTO’s top 10 Toronto Music Videos of 2014 list.
We just wrapped production on the set of Petra Glynt’s upcoming new music video “Sour Paradise.” Directed by Blake McFarlane, the video is filled with glitter-freak-punk mayhem, including fireworks, lazers and lots of smoke bombs! Keep an eye out for the video, which is set to drop later this fall. In the meantime, check out our photos from set.
