Tony Marra, a Toronto-based actor and runner ventures into the world of filmmaking with his debut feature film, Billy Runs Boston? This thought-provoking film delves into various issues facing the running community, including cheating, bullying of cheaters, over-training while injured, the pervasive impact of social media, and the deeply sensitive topic of suicide.
