J Stevens is one of the most exciting new voices in Canadian film
Social Sharing Here & Queer is a Canadian Screen Award-winning talk series hosted by Peter Knegt that celebrates and amplifies the work of LGBTQ artists through unfiltered conversations. J Stevens is one of the most exciting new voices in Canadian cinema. In fact, that was just made somewhat official by the Toronto Film Critics Association, who awarded Stevens this year's Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist in Canada's film industry. (Previous winners have included Matt Johnson, Xavier Dolan, Molly McGlynn and Ashley McKenzie, so Stevens is in some very notable company). The prize came with regard to Stevens' first feature Really Happy Someday, an incredibly moving account of a musical theatre performer (Breton Lalama, who is fantastic in the film, which he co-wrote with Stevens) regaining his voice after his transition. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, and that's when we got the chance to sit down with Stevens on the set of Here & Queer. Watch the entire interview below: For more information on future screenings of Really Happy Someday, click here.
