Those with a relative knowledge of Canadian cinema may very well be familiar with Pete and Joey, the two protagonists from Don Shebib's 1970 film Goin' Down the Road, a piece that one could argue was essential marking a move for Canadian films from the proliferation of National Film Board documentaries to fiction features.
Canadian films often have a hard time finding an audience theatrically. There are many reasons why, none the least of which is the fact that they are often given less-to-no promotion and released in only a handful of theaters for what is usually only one or two weeks before disappearing to the shelves of your local video store.
