Available on DVD March 18, 2008 Adapted from the novel by Michael Downing, BREAKFAST WITH SCOT is a touching comedy that tells the story of a very ‘straight’ gay couple, Eric (TomCavanagh), an ex-NHL hockey player-turned-sportscaster and Sam (Ben Shenkman), a lawyer, who end up with temporary custody of recently orphaned Scot, (Noah Bernett) an 11-year-old boy who turns out to be a total sissy. Officially sanctioned by the NHL and the Toronto Maple Leafs, BREAKFAST WITH SCOT represents the first time a professional sports league has allowed their logo and uniforms to be used in a gay-themed movie. During production, in an interview with the Toronto Star, Cavanagh said: “You have to give full credit to the NHL and the Leafs for signing on.” In the New York Times, Bernadette Mansur, executive director for the NHL Foundation said, “From our standpoint, this is about a modern family helping to raise a young boy. There was no intention for this to be a political statement, but having said that, we’re not going to back down.” BREAKFAST WITH SCOT is the second feature for director Laurie Lynd, whose 3 short films, TOGETHER AND APART, RSVP, Genie-winner THE FAIRY WHO DIDN’T WANT TO BE A FAIRY ANYMORE, and first feature, HOUSE, all played at TIFF and SUNDANCE. Lynd has also had two television films open the Sprockets International Children’s Film Festival - VIRTUAL MOM, and the BBC mini-series I WAS A RAT, which won the YTV Silver Sprocket audience award as well as Best Children’s Program at the 2002 Banff International Television Festival. BREAKFAST WITH SCOT is the fifth film that producer Paul Brown (I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM, THE ASSISTANT, SOUL SURVIVOR, VIRTUAL MOM, ZEYDA AND THE HIT MAN) and director Laurie Lynd have collaborated on, beginning with their award-winning short film, RSVP, in 1991. BREAKFAST WITH SCOT also stars Graham Greene, Megan Follows, Fiona Reid, Colin Cunningham, Sheila McCarthy, Anna Silk, Benz Antoine, Shauna MacDonald, Robin Brule, Kathryn Haggis, Travis Ferris and Jeananne Goossen.
