Peter Camani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Camani is an eccentric and ingenious artist who teaches at Almaguin Highlands Secondary School outside of Sundridge, Ontario, Canada. A favourite among his students, Camani is best known for his legendary castle in Burk's Falls, Ontario, which he has spent over 25 years constructing. Monolith-like sculptures in the shape of giant heads are scattered throughout the property. A two-headed dragon sits atop the chimney and his version of the See/Say/Hear No Evils greet visitors.

His castle has been featured several times on Canadian television, including the CBC series On The Road Again and Arthur Black's "Weird Homes".

Camani has recently been working diligently on a film of his own devising. With Dallas Boyes as the director, Camani began filming in 2005 and has been continuing with production since. Employing several students from nearby Almaguin Highlands Secondary School to help with acting, props, backdrops, music and taping, Camani's film has been exciting business for the surrounding area.

Featured in the film are the acting talents of World Champion Arm Wrestler Greg Boyes, members of The Rabid Squirrel Ltd., the artistic talents of Cornelia and Franziska Dudli along with many others.

There has been no set release date for Camani's film.
