The world premiere of Terriens, the French Marie Roy.

language version of Earthlings, took place on
the evening of Friday, 8th January 2010 at
UQÀM. The event was a smashing success,
with over 700 people in attendance.
Local vegetarian Thai restaurant ChuChai was
on hand to give out free samples of crispy
seaweed and spring rolls. There was a long
line outside of the theatre, and the audience
was full of people from all walks of life.
There were brief opening remarks from
director Shaun Monson, who flew in from L.A.
for the event, and Georges Laraque, who also
served as interpreter. The audience was
shown a clip from Monson's upcoming film
Unity.
To end the evening on a high note, there was
a raffle with great prizes such as vegan
handbags, hockey game tickets, and a
restaurant outing. There was also a question
and answer period that was unfortunately cut
short. Georges Laraque stayed afterwards,
making himself available for autographs.
