Blue Heron
Directed by Sophy Romvari
Produced by Nine Behind Productions, Boddah
An introspective, experimental family drama set in 1990s Vancouver Island that explores mental illness and immigrant experience through a child's perspective, balancing compassion with unresolved tension.
In the late 1990s, a family of six settles into their new home on Vancouver Island, as internal dynamics are slowly revealed through the experiences of the youngest child, Sasha. Their fresh start is interrupted by the increasingly dangerous behavior of Jeremy, the family's oldest child.
