Intimate Portrait of Grammy Award Winning Artist and Member of Legendary Rock Band Fleetwood Mac as She Creates Album with Dave Stewart

Special Screenings at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto on April 15th with Stevie Nicks appearing LIVE for Q&A sessions after both showings.

Toronto – March 14, 2013.Following the tremendous positive response to the Stevie Nicks documentary "In Your Dreams", an intimate portrait of one of rock's most enduring and legendary artists, at the Hamptons International Film Festival and the Mill Valley Film Festival, this up close portrayal of Nicks recording her critically acclaimed "In Your Dreams" CD in collaboration with Dave Stewart is now scheduled to screen in exclusive engagements in theaters across Canada starting in Toronto at the TIFF Bell Lightbox on April 15.  Tickets will be available to the public for the two special screenings of In Your Dreams at 7 p.m. at 7:30 p.m. on April 15, with three regular screenings taking place on April 16 – 18 at 8:30 p.m. at TIFF Bell Lightbox. Tickets go on sale March 20 for TIFF Members and on March 27 for non-members at tiff.net.

The "In Your Dreams" film is being distributed by Films We Like in Canada. Co-produced and co-directed by former Eurythmic Dave Stewart, "In Your Dreams" is a portrait of the elusive Nicks as she and Stewart embark on a musical journey to write and record the critically acclaimed album "In Your Dreams."  Nicks called this "the greatest year of my life" and felt compelled to share the joyful experience that she terms "the day the circus came to town" with her fans.  The record was co-written by Nicks and Stewart and produced by Stewart and Glen Ballard. Watch the trailer at http://www.inyourdreamsmovie.com.

Nicks, one of the lead singers and emotional catalyst for Fleetwood Mac, is embarking on a world tour with them beginning April 4th in Columbus Ohio.  A multi Grammy Award winning artist and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Nicks allowed cameras inside her magical old mansion high atop the hills of LA with a wild cast of musicians and friends.  The inner life of the legendary Nicks has by her design long been kept at a distance from the public. We learn in "Dreams" that her world features, costume parties, elaborate dinner feasts, tap dancing, fantasy creations and revealing songwriting and recording sessions all of which are captured on film. Also cameos by Edgar Allan Poe, Mick Fleetwood, Reese Witherspoon, a massive white stallion in the backyard, owls and naturally a few vampires who appear in several "home movie" style music videos.

Along with tracking the Nicks/Stewart creative partnership, "In Your Dreams" has plenty of other cinematic payoffs including rare never before seen personal scrapbook stills from Nicks' childhood and family life, and a wealth of candid backstage and performance shots taken over the last 35 years. The documentary was produced by Dave Stewart's production company, Weapons of Mass Entertainment.

Nicks, who has sold millions of records as a solo artist and writer of such iconic songs as "Landslide," "Gold Dust Woman" and "Edge of 17," is regularly cited by stars as diverse as Taylor Swift, Kid Rock, Courtney Love, Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks and John Mayer as an iconic favorite and heroine and is a continuous inspiration to the world's top fashion designers.

 "She is really real. It doesn't matter if she is singing in the make-up room or in the middle of a TV interview.  She is who she is, and she doesn't change." commented Stewart.

 "This is our baby and we give her lovingly into your dreams.  From our tribe to yours," concluded Nicks.

Films We Like is excited to announce the acquisition of MUSCLE SHOALS directed by Greg 'Freddy' Camalier

The music that came out of Muscle Shoals is some of the most important and resonant of all time. "I’ll Take You There", "Brown Sugar", "When a Man Loves a Woman", "I Never Loved A Man the Way That I Loved You", "Mustang Sally”, "Tell Mama", "Kodachrome", and "Freebird" are just a few of the tens of thousands of tracks created there. At its heart is Rick Hall, who brought black and white musicians together to create music that would last for generations while also giving birth to the unique ‘Muscle Shoals sound’ and the rhythm section ‘The Swampers’. In this movie, legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Jimmy Cliff, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Steve Winwood, and others bear witness to the magnetism and mystery of Muscle Shoals and why it remains a global influence today.

Films We Like is excited to announce the acquisition of GOOD VIBRATIONS.  

Good Vibrations has received international attention in recent months and will soon be released in Canada.

GOOD VIBRATIONS Directed by Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn

Based on a true story, Good Vibrations depicts the rise of Irish punk out of a violent conflict that rocked Belfast in the late 1960s. The film follows the life of Terri Hooley, a rebellious music enthusiast who opened a record store called Good Vibrations on the most bombed half-mile in Europe. The vibrant music collective that grew around Hooley soon led him to establish the Good Vibrations record label, which ended up releasing some of the most important 45s and LPs of the period. Good Vibrations created a crucial space for the development of the punk scene. There, a group of young musicians gathered to foster an alternative culture that revitalized a devastated population.
