"The curse of all cinema is the desire to tell stories."

‘The costumes, the wigs and the dialogue are deliberately very stylised – people use 50 words when 20 would have done. If anyone went off-script they got their fingers slapped’

Proud to have been apart of this project, filmed in Nova Scotia last summer.

"When a young woman with a startling resemblance to her mother arrives home for her mother’s funeral, one family begins an odyssey toward understanding.

Dawn returns home to Nova Scotia to mourn the death of her mother and repair the estrangement with her father, John Andrew. An ancient tractor becomes the focus for the mechanically-minded Dawn, but her father’s long-simmering resentments heighten tensions. Watching his daughter work to restore the tractor, he realises that reclaiming this relationship depends on his own coming out: supporting Dawn publicly and fighting malicious small-town transphobia.

Shelley Thompson’s feature directorial debut follows a father and daughter as they cautiously rebuild their relationship and come to understand the mechanics of the heart."
