The documentary Last Dogs Of Winter, filmed by Costa Botes and featuring Caleb Ross (The Tribe’s Lex) has been selected viewing at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival 2011.
On his blog, Costa Botes said the following: “Right at the beginning of planning Last Dogs of Winter it was my fervent hope that if we ever succeeded in getting it made, the best thing that could happen was to be selected for the documentary lineup at Toronto, and now it has.

Click here to check it out, at this moment in time there is not much information on the production, only that Raymond Thompson is the writer of the film. Although the article by Variety stated the movie would have the title Tribes, it looks like it has the working title of ‘The Tribe’.

Both girls have work as models as well as pursuing acting work – I’m not sure how old the pics on their profiles are though.
For old times sake, here’s a pic of Paige Shaand Haami as Cass from when she was in The New Tomorrow, and here is Zoe Robins as Faygar.
