Writer(s) Bio: Suzey Ingold is a published author and emerging screenwriter. She has worked in various production capacities on a small number of short films, while building extensive industry experience from working at major international film festivals for over a decade, alongside writing narrative fiction and non-fiction in her spare time. Bringing together her industry experience and her skills as a writer, she recently turned her focus to screenwriting. Her Black List recommended feature-length psychological thriller, THE MANY FACES OF THE MAXWELLS, was referred by The Black List for official entry into the 2025 Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting. She holds as many citizenships as she is probably allowed, as a British-Finnish-Canadian.


The Canadian Film Centre (CFC) is a charitable organization that empowers Canadian talent and advances opportunities for them to thrive in the screen industry. We deliver intensive programs in film, television, screen acting, music, and digital/immersive media. POINT OF VIEW is a creative exercise that will see 5 scenes from our Writers' Lab realized twice by two different creative teams. Each scene will be shot over two half days in August and professionally finished by early September. Projects may be used on password-protected demo reels but are not intended for public distribution. This is a great opportunity to work with emerging Canadian talent in a collaborative environment!

Storyline
Kiki comes to her elder sister, Juliette, in confidence when faced of a life-altering decision, not realising that they are being observed by Juliette’s young daughter.
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
PrincipalJULIETTEFemale 26 - 33 Years old
Description
Female any ethnicity, 26-33. Juliette is a woman with a self-assured presence. Practical over emotional. Impatient. Her younger sister, Kiki, is the only person she’s ever had any kind of power over, and she wields it almost aggressively at times. As much as she genuinely cares for Kiki, Juliette resents that Kiki feels she has any options, when Juliette always felt she had to do what was expected of her—right down to her own marriage and child.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
PrincipalKIKIFemale 20 - 24 Years old
Description
Female any ethnicity. Early 20s woman, a little naive. Still holding onto an idealism about the world that her older sister, Juliette, has long since lost. She is in the very early stages of a pregnancy, and facing the possibility of being a single mother, but it’s hard for her to engage with the reality of the situation. She rarely stays still, always fidgeting with something.
