The Dreamers
In 2019, I directed and produced a short documentary piece called, "The Dreamers".
“The Dreamers” follows three young women (Joee, Kayla and Maya) living in Nova Scotia on their quest to answer the question, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’
Joee is an LGBTQ performer & connector, Kayla a community activist, and Maya an actress and artiste.
