A character drama disguised as a procedural, Prodigals gives a fresh coat of paint to the proverbial return to the hometown. There are no plain heroes and villains in this story, just a group of people struggling to keep their head above water. Friendships have grown complicated by familiarity, resentment, and lies. A lot of lies.
Prodigals was directed by Michelle Ouellet and written by Nicholas Carella, who also co-stars.
The Canadian Crew talked at length with Michelle and Nick. We discussed the challenges of juggling multiple roles on set, how to make BC look like Northern Ontario, and how to best use screen testing to improve your film.

The Canadian Crew Podcast # 10: Steve Gravestock, TIFF Canadian Programmer
A month has passed since the Toronto International Film Festival. At least in the Canadian front, the 42nd edition of TIFF gave a fresh and diverse crop of filmmakers a chance to showcase their work. Steve Gravestock was directly involved in the selection of these movies. Alongside Magali Simard, Gravestock is the festival’s senior Canadian programmer and has been involved with TIFF for most of his professional life. We talked with Steve about trends in Canadian cinema, best practices for festival hopefuls, and the most interesting Canadian voices out there today.
