Echo Chamber - Sci-Fi London 2024 - Vol 4 (A Positive Contribution)
For the first time ever @EchoChamberFP goes to TIFF!!!
Well, this is essentially a quick drive through of the 49th Toronto International Film Festival, BUT, it's all thanks to Cynthia Amsden!!!
For our opening salvo, we take a look at a new film that exudes Toronto, while looking at the intricacies of relationships and sex work. THEN, we sit down with the director/writer and two of the stars for an incredible confab that will have you clambering to get a ticket for the film!!!
'Paying For It' is directed by Sook-Yin Lee, who co-wrote with Joanne Sarazen. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Chester Brown. When an introverted cartoonist’s girlfriend (Emily Lê) wants to redefine their relationship, he (Dan Beirne) begins sleeping with sex workers (Andrea Werhun, Hannia Cheng, Jamie Whitecrow, Lisa Smolkin, Lea Rose Sebastianis, Dusty Lee, Becky Johnson, Kitoko Mai, Tanya Cheex, Dainty Smith, Becca Willow Moss, Kaitlyn Chalmers-Rizzato) and discovers a new kind of intimacy in the process.
