Description

Directed by: Cory Thibert | 83 min | 2021 | Canada
Every summer, a ragtag crew of performing artists journey across the country to perform their work on the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit. This touring circuit is a unique showcase that attracts thousands of performers from all over the world bent on reclaiming control of their creative output and process.
Experience the highs and lows of life on the road through the eyes of four different groups of artists: a workaholic from Ottawa obsessing over professional success, a Fringe veteran from the UK celebrating his 100th festival on the road, a power couple from New York who met on the circuit, and four rookies from Saskatoon touring together for the very first time.
Join their road trip of a lifetime as they struggle to balance love, friendship, and financial risk with artistic reward.
PRECEDED BY THE SHORT FILM: The Eternal Chaos of Allan Andre
Directed by: Stéphane Mukunzi | 10 min | 2021 | Canada
Artist and muralist Allan Andre is working on a stunning new public mural while simultaneously speaking about the challenges of finding inspiration and working through ADHD. In the past summer, his work has taken on a whole new significance as he and others attempted to capture the public’s imagination in the wake of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests.
