And he’s evidently putting a feature-film on the backburner to make way for the short. His next film, entitled Keyhole, won’t shoot until next winter and he describes it as, a “film noir battle of the sexes.” But uh Victoria Secret’s is his primary backer? Weird, apparently they’re cool with the delay. “There’s so many things with Keyhole that I want to pull off and I just need a little more time to try.”

The Playlist passes along word from the Vancouver Sun that Guy Maddin’s next feature will a) Be funded by Victoria’s Secret, and b) will be postponed while he works on a short called Night Mayor about “the significance of a public film producer.” All good news.
