Broken Social Scene and Bruce McDonald are bff’s. McDonald has used the Canadian indie-rock collective’s music in many of his films including his most recent, “The Tracey Fragments” starring Ellen Page.

To add to the Canuck lovefest, the Canadian filmmaker is currently directing a documentary about Social Scene founding member Brendan Canning for the release of the bassist/guitarist/singer’s Broken Social Scene Presents series album (a self-titled solo effort, likely Broken Social Scene Presents: Brendan Canning) which is due June 10 22 on Arts & Crafts according to a publicist for the label (*the label bumped the release a bit).
