Masked Epic
Year: 2021
Country: Canada
Director: Jay Fox
Cast: Killarney Honours String Orchestra
Runtime: 42 min
Language: English
Masked Epic is a 5-part web series documentary following the Killarney Honour Strings in their pursuit of meaningful musical experience despite the incredible logistical obstacles of covid protocols. Forced to complete their 10-month course in just 10-weeks, remote learning for half of those weeks, the orchestra split into two parallel cohorts, not playing for nearly a year, physical distancing and masks – the course was not supposed to be epic. Yet, these young musicians set forth to make this 10-week journey something special. Award winning film maker, Le Nouveau-Pauvre (lenouveaupauvre.net) takes us on an intimate journey and masterfully tells the story of how these young musicians experience the unprecedented task ahead of them.
Guest: Director, Jay Fox; Musical Director, Nicholas Urquhartalt
