Storyline
*TORONTO-BASED, NON-UNION ACTORS ONLY *
Spec footage intended to be turned into a feature length project in the next year. The intention is to carry over the same cast to the feature-length version. From writer/director Magdi Omar, this film has received funding from Canada Arts Council. It's an anthology style film with five separate chapters, each highlighting a different aspect of the immigrant experience in Canada. From love, dating, depression, experiencing racism, to finding work and building a new life. Through the experiences of our main protagonist Adam and his core group of immigrant friends, we explore in a lighthearted comedic tone the different challenges new young immigrants face.
