7:59 Mile End

Alicia K. Harris, who I had met at the Yorkton Film Festival in 2017, put my name in for consideration for REEL Canada's "Light(s) at the End of the Tunnel" 2021 project. REEL Canada normally hosts Canadian Film Day -- in-person screenings across Canada celebrating Canadian cinema -- but due to COVID-19 they decided to commission works for a virtual festival. I approached my friend Simran Dewan to collaborate, and created a pitch together for a short documentary focused on the then historically-unique curfew in Quebec. REEL Canada accepted our proposal, and Simran and I shot interviews and b-roll with the interview subjects, and cinematographer Harley Francis filled in to shoot the establishing neighbourhood b-roll for the film. I edited the short for the April, 2021 livestream where all of the selected projects were broadcast and interview subject Thanya Iyer provided music.
