A guy’s gotta do what he’s gotta do to get in the picture — 8 bikers, a Harley ride across the exhibit floor, a sense of humour, and a trade show full of people willing to be “convinced.”

‘A Life’s Passion’ featuring James McCreath
June 6, 2008
BookShorts Preview of A Life’s Passion by James McCreath
RENALDO reveals the story of James McCreath, a businessman who overcame the relentless hand of fate by translating true life into an epic novel of historical fiction, Renaldo. Reluctant prodigy from a family fortune amassed through generations; honour-bound to fulfill duties to those whose dedication kills; thwarted in love by cruel irony; persevering by his hope, passion and faith — the film focuses on some of the intense personal events of McCreath’s own life, while using animation to imagine the parallel fictional narrative. McCreath has made his novel timely and universal through its setting in Buenos Aires 1889 to Argentina in the 1970’s, a time rife with terrorism and military dictatorship while simultaneously hosting one of the most spectacular sporting events in history, the FIFA World Cup.
