The short-form series THE ARTIST'S WAY OUT is intended to be entertaining and relatable, fresh and yet familiar. There is hopefully something for everyone in this intimate story of 2 people isolated together. I was wanting very much to see BIPOC characters on screen in the Canadian winter, an unfortunately rare occurrence. Although the story raises issues of cultural and sexual identity, they serve more as a backdrop to the ins and outs of a new relationship in close quarters, and the struggles of becoming an artist. As well it speaks to the experience of being first/second generation immigrants in Canada. Another challenge was to shoot this series in six, 9-hour days with one camera. I was nursing a 1 year old at the time and wanted to see if we could make a set with livable working hours. We made our days and finished all six episodes for around 5K per episode, thanks to an abundance of community support!! Featuring music from all local Toronto musicians.
