Action Canada's real talk

Addressing pain points within families is never an easy thing to do, but neither is the ability to capture the intensity of such moments on film.

Dealing with one of the most divisive topics of our time, sexual identity, Action Canada's powerful Get Offline & Talk campaign puts the sensitivity of the issue at the forefront; presenting two stories of communication - Ashley & Maggie and Dave & Greg - that will be all-to-familiar to those in similar situations.

Working with agency With Principles, OPC director Paul Shkordoff and screenwriter Bec Pecaut (they/them) manage to craft two unique stories that are embedded in authenticity. Shot on 35mm, the delicate films capture the moment with compassion and grace, aided by some genuinely terrific performances from the cast.
