Eagle Vision, PSA Productions and Mongrel Media have launched the action comedy film, Deaner ’89, on VOD. The film will be available to buy or rent on digital and on-demand across Canada starting December 6, 2024.
In Deaner ’89, hard-luck metalhead Dean Murdoch (Paul Spence) reveals how he finally made it, taking us back to the ’80s – when being a hockey jock was a badge of honour, Jazzercise was a national movement, seatbelts were optional, and teachers were as drunk as their students.
Filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Deaner ’89 is the feature film debut from Squamish-based director Sam McGlynn. The film features an all-star Canadian cast including Paul Spence (FUBAR, I’m Not There), Will Sasso (MadTV, Loudermilk), Star Slade (Dream Scenario, Burden of Truth), Maddy Foley (The Boys), Mary Walsh (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), and Kevin McDonald (The Kids in the Hall).
The film had a successful theatrical run accompanied by a national roadshow this fall. The film’s star, writer and producer Paul Spence who plays Dean Murdoch aka “The Deaner”, visited fans across Canada for preview screenings, after-parties, performances and tailgate parties at CFL games.
