Female freestyle rom-com! Born from the exuberant and hilarious imagination of Chandler Levack: Grace is on a quest for self-fulfillment, happiness, and love in Montreal – and then Bone Patrol strikes!

2011: young music critic Grace (Barbie Ferreira) moves from Toronto to Montreal to write her first book, about Alanis Morissette’s cult album “Jagged Little Pill”. But her encounter with the up-and-coming indie rock band Bone Patrol changes everything. She is plunged into an unfamiliar world full of odd encounters and becomes the band’s manager. Soon she finds herself drawn to two of its members: charismatic lead singer Chevy (Stanley Simons) and celibate bassist Archi (Devon Bostick). Emotional chaos is inevitable, not least because her former boss still has a grip on her (Jay Baruchel).

It took director Chandler Levack ten years to bring this semi-autobiographical passion project to life. The result shines with her distinctive, sparkling humor and her exceptional talent as a writer, propelling her straight to the forefront of Canada’s most promising cinematic voices.

Director

Chandler Levack is one of the most exciting voices in Canadian independent cinema. She began her career as a pop culture journalist before finally giving herself permission to make films – and thank goodness she did! She completed her university degree, directed music videos, and learned screenwriting. Her short film ›We Forgot to Break Up‹ made waves, and her debut feature ›I Like Movies‹ toured successfully on the international festival circuit. Levack’s own path proves that detours often lead straight to the heart of one’s own story – just like in her latest film!
