"COURAGE, MY HEART"

Feature Film #3
GENRE BENDING, 2 hrs
A high-stakes coming-of-age romance wrapped in crime, fantasy and poignant musical elements.SYNOPSIS:Set in mid-century North America, a resilient group of Queer, French Canadian, and Indigenous youth escape a detention centre in a fight for survival, and the right to love and thrive.In the 1950s, a Polish-Irish girl from an immigrant family and a free-spirited Cree boy from a nearby reserve form an unexpected bond that defies class, race, and expectation. Their connection is immediate and profound, something beyond friendship, rooted in shared understanding and quiet defiance.But in a world determined to separate them, their relationship is deemed dangerous. When their bond threatens the social order, they are forcibly torn apart and sent into systems designed to control, contain, and erase them.Across institutions, relocation camps, and unfamiliar cities, both are forced to endure. Along the way, they find chosen families among other outcasts - Queer youth, runaways, and marginalized voices who refuse to disappear. In these fragile communities, survival becomes an act of resistance, and identity something to be reclaimed rather than suppressed.Reunited against the odds, they must confront the forces that shaped their separation - and decide whether to live within the rules imposed upon them, or break free entirely.A sweeping, character-driven story of resilience, identity, and belonging, the film explores love as an act of defiance, and survival as a path toward self-determination. At its core, it is about reclaiming voice, community, and the right to exist on one’s own terms.

"DEAR MARY,
OY MARICHKA!"

FEATURE FILM #4LIVE ACTION, 2 hrsSYNOPSIS:When an ambitious lawyer returns to her Canadian prairie hometown to bury her mother, she is pulled back into the rituals of her Ukrainian roots - guided by a mysterious magpie that seems to know the way before she does.As grief settles in, memory begins to surface: in shared meals, quiet gestures, and the rhythms of a life she once left behind. Through food, ritual, and the changing seasons, she is drawn into a deeper reckoning with family, identity, and the fragile threads that bind past to present.Blending grounded realism with subtle currents of magic, the film unfolds as a poetic meditation on loss, belonging, and the search for home.At its heart, it is a love story - one shaped by absence and return. A distinctly Canadian story of ambition and displacement, of childhood and homecoming, of remembrance, love, and legacy - rooted in the enduring spirit of the prairie and the pioneer experience.

"LADY OF SHALOTT"

FEATURE FILM #5LIVE ACTION DRAMA, 2 hrsOVERVIEW:Six iconic artists. One hidden connection.Poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, painter George Frederic Watts, actress Ellen Terry, craftswoman and reformer Mary Seton Watts, and novelist Virginia Woolf - each a defining voice of their time, each shaping the future of art in radically different ways.Spanning the 19th and early 20th centuries, their lives appear separate - divided by discipline, fame, and generation. But beneath the surface lies a web of relationships, influences, and encounters that history has never fully revealed.As their stories unfold, a pattern begins to emerge: a shared circle, a series of intimate connections, and a creative lineage that quietly links them all. Through portraits, performances, letters, and lived moments, the boundaries between their worlds begin to dissolve.What starts as a search for answers becomes something far more unexpected - a journey into the unseen forces that shape art, legacy, and memory itself.Because the truth is, these six lives are not just connected.They are part of one same story.The question is… how?
