(Jan 27, 2012) The comedy Love, Sex and Eating the Bones
won
Toronto's
David "Sudz" Sutherland
the Best Canadian First Feature prize at TIFF in 2003.
He's been working mainly in TV since then, but he's returning to
film with an immigrant deportation drama called
Home Again.
The film tracks three people as they are deported to their home
country Jamaica from Canada, the U.S. and England.
Principal photography is underway in Trinidad on the film, which
stars Tatyana Ali, the recording artist and former Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air TV star. Others in the cast include
Lyriq Bent
(SAW, TV's Rookie Blue and Guns) and
newcomer Stephan James.
Additional scenes are to be shot in Jamaica and Toronto.
Sutherland directs from a story he wrote with Jennifer Holness.
Promotional notes describe it as a fact-based story "inspired by
international government practice of deporting incarcerated
landed immigrants to rid itself of unwanted population ... On
the most fundamental level, Home Again asks the question,
'How would you survive?'"
The film is due out in 2013, just in time for the official 10th
anniversary of Sutherland's TIFF debut. |
