Production Notes
Killing Time was conceived in the back of a movie theater in the fall of 1995. Deciding there were too many serious films in the world, Paula Tiberius and Tanya Henley formed Tapas Films and wrote their first script together, called "Killing Time."

Shot in Toronto in late January 1996, this film has a cast of stand-up comics, actors (screen theater and comedy troupe), a drop dead gorgeous drag queen and one very sophisticated ten year old. The four day shoot included some very cold outdoor scenes which put the actors' senses of humour to the test.

Toronto band Change of Heart supply the groovy soundtrack to this dark comedy.
