Anne at 13,000 Feet.
Thanks
Anne está a punto de cumplir los 30 años y trabaja en una guardería en el centro de Toronto. Los niños la adoran, tiene su propio apartamento y se siente libre realizando paracaidismo. La gente que la rodea se da cuenta, pero nadie se atreve a diagnosticar cuál es su problema. La tensión aumenta a medida que su comportamiento se torna más errático. Son los nervios que produce una mujer bajo la influencia de algo. Pero, ¿de qué exactamente? La sensación es desagradable a la vez que extrañamente vivificante; algo similar al vacío que se forma en nuestro estómago cuando un avión se eleva y sabes que vas a tener que saltar por él desde las alturas.

Director of Photography
The morning after hosting a drug-fueled house party, Gracie wakes to learn her ex-boyfriend Feller is dealing with pseudo-friend Kree and roommate Tanya had her precious heirloom pendant stolen. Gracie embarks to retrieve the necklace, meeting friends and acquaintances along the way in a languorous, darkly humourous study of the precarious transition between youth and adulthood.
A Prayer
Producer
In a little house all for herself, an elderly woman moves through her day. While she tends to every chore on the docket, we learn some things about her. She has a green thumb, she speaks Polish while on the phone, she likes to nap. A prayer sounds. They are words from her mother-in-law, Polish poet Zofia Bohdanowiczowa, who was also displaced from her native Poland. Three generations meet, one by writing, one by living, and the third by the very making of this film, a composition of her ancestors through sound and image.
The Oxbow Cure
Director of Photography
The Oxbow Cure is a winter tale of Lena, a middle-aged woman who has recently been diagnosed with a life-altering disease. In an attempt to come to terms with her transforming body, she leaves her home in the city for a new life in remote northern Ontario. While exploring the natural world outside her cottage, she begins to create an interior routine. A frozen lake, mere steps from her front door, is a source of both fear and fascination.
