Description	Cabfair is a 2008 mockumentary film produced and directed by Justin Chenier, who came up with the original concept in 2004. Justin Chenier and K. Shane Doulton are listed as the writers, although the film did not have a conventional script, with each scene improvised by the actors while following the storyline written by Justin Chenier. Cabfair was originally intended to be an 8-part television series, much like Trailer Park Boys, with an open casting call on Saturday, February 18, 2005.Cabfair was first covered in the media by the Kingston Whig Standard in a February, 2005 article that reported on the casting call. Cabfair was shot from June 17 to October 28, 2007 in Kingston, Ontario. While the cast and crew worked from detailed storylines, the film was unscripted, giving the actors the freedom to improvise their scenes while keeping true to the story. It was submitted for consideration to the 2008 Kingston Canadian Film Festival, and if selected will have a world premiere in Kingston at the festival between February 27 and March 2, 2008. The film follows a Kingston taxi driver for a day when his favourite radio station threatens to change format.The full cast of 32 actors and 10 crew members all have Kingston connections, most living and either working or studying in the city. Cabfair is the first starring role for actor K. Shane Doulton, who has had minor roles in Snake Eyes with Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise and “Between Strangers” with Sophia Lauren and Mira Sorvino. The cast features a number of Kingston media personalities, including long-time radio newscaster Tony Orr, 98.3 FLY-FM News Director and morning show co-host Shauna Cunningham, K-ROCK 105.7 Program Director and morning show host Glenn "G" Williams, and former CKWS News Director and current FM96 morning show co-host Rob McDonald. The soundtrack features the original song “Surrounded” by Kingston musician and radio personality Ryan Lemmon, who also has a small cameo in the film and worked as an Audio Assistant during production of the film.
