2025 - TRANSLATIONS

 

A new docu-series

Six episodes presently airing on FIBT TV in Canada

​

TRANSLATIONS explores the lives of a diverse group of trans individuals and their advocates as they connect at a beautiful, remote retreat in Nova Scotia.

​

A round-robin series of conversations introduces us to five very different pairs in a stunning location: 

a queer mom and her 13-year-old trans daughter, a queer Iranian man and his trans female fiancé; a married couple with two kids, a dog, and a picket fence living their best life in small-town Nova Scotia; a pair of black drag kings who've helped each other through their transitions since their high school days; and a Catholic university Gender & Sexual Diversity Advisor and her young trans charge from a northern Alberta Mennonite community - all articulate the complexity, humanity and humour of their experiences.

WINTER SKY
 

Coming in fall 2025

From celebrated filmmaker, actor, and novellist Shelley Thompson comes a collection of stories, both cherished and fresh as new-fallen snow. A blend of historical and contemporary, written in breathtaking prose, the stories in Winter Sky reflect the season’s contrasts: the light and the dark, the complexity and the comfort.

 

In “The Compass,” a chance encounter on a bus during a winter storm leads to the unravelling of a family mystery decades old. In “The Goat’s Christmas Carol,” an unexpected trio of carollers visits the home of a sick child on Christmas Eve, bringing not gold, frankincense, and myrrh but gifts of song, community, and a future.

 

In “Winter Sky,” the constellations provide company, and inspiration, for a young prairie boy on his early-morning walks to school. In “The Thing of It Is,” a couple’s never-ending home renovation binds them to a carpenter whose wisdom lies in recognizing what the heart needs to build comfort and joy.

 

Just like the season itself, these stories bring delight and heartache, and the wonder of gazing up at a winter’s sky.
