• Delete as hoax. She directed Chicago? Sure going to be a surprise to Rob Marshall. May need a serious review of this author's other articles. Fan1967 01:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment Some quick searches make Lindsay Mackay and Nadia Tan, also authored by Sassaffraz (talk · contribs) look awfully suspect. All three of these articles quote these three praising each other's work. Based on Google, Tan looks like a film student who's made an 11-minute short. Can't find anything reliable on Mackay at all.

• Note I've been trying to do some searching on Bankovic and her three friends. Best I can figure out, they're a bunch of young film students at York University in Toronto. All have listed ages under 25. All except Tan can be found in the student directory. A few (very few) of the titles actually seem to exist as 10-minute short films with no distribution. A few of the moderately notable names mentioned, John Greyson and Antonin Lhotsky, are on the faculty. Marcos Arriaga was associated with the school; he graduated there in 2003.
