Quote:
"Parsley Days came out in 2000, and played major cinemas in Toronto and Vancouver. Since then, it has also shown at repertory cinemas in 12 Canadian cities: Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, Waterloo, Kingston, Ottawa and Charlottetown, plus Victoria, Vernon, Prince George, Terrace and Salmon Arm, B.C. It hasn't been screened here—in the town where it was made—because Halifax is thought too small for commercial theatres to take a chance on a small-budget Canadian film. And although Halifax is many times larger than Victoria, Vernon, Prince George, Terrace and Salmon Arm combined, we have yet to replace the dearly departed Wormwood's repertory cinema."
