WINNER OF 2021 telus audience choice award: canadian narrative

In small-town British Columbia, awkward teen Mike Drinkwater (Daniel Doheny, ADVENTURES IN PUBLIC SCHOOL) has trouble fitting in. Hank (Eric McCormack, WILL & GRACE), his offbeat father, spends more time living in his own delusional world than paying attention to his son. Mike's lack of direction takes a turn when he meets the new girl, Wallace. Over Mike's final semester, Wallace helps him train for an annual cross-country race while Mike guides Wallace through an unfamiliar Canadian experience.

Director Stephen S. Campanelli (INDIAN HORSE) returns to the festival with a fun, quirky, small-town coming-of-age story. Set in 2020, the film still captures the nostalgia of the ’80s, filled with a great cast and Canadiana written all over it
