SEEN IN VANCOUVER #412: A Short Film About A Vancouverite And His Toy Dinosaur

Here’s the latest short film from Lewis Bennett, a local man who we’ve been proud to support in his mission to make 12 films about BC in 2012. This is the eighth film in the series, and it’s called “Trevor the Dinosaur”. It’s about a local man named Derek Scott and his 8 year relationship with a toy dinosaur, a Triceratops named Trevor.

Money quote: “Most people probably don’t have a dinosaur that they can say goodnight to, but for those most people…well, then they’re missing out.”

Too right, brother. As usual, it’s charming as all get out, and you should probably watch it to improve your life.
