The idea of being sexually fluid is relatively new to most people’s vernacular, and as a result it hasn’t been explored to much in cinema. However, Morning After, which has just finished shooting, is hoping to help change that. The short is described as a ‘proof of concept’ for a future feature film.
Morning After tells the story of a young man called Michael, who comes back to Montreal after spending two years abroad. He finds himself at his friend Edward’s flat with his roommate Dana, her best friend Teegan, and Edward’s “soulmate” Alex. While only knowing Edward, Michael quickly becomes friendly with the rest of the gang as they get involved in a provocative game of chocolate tasting and French-kissing.
Michael finds himself confronted by the openness of the group, who seem to comfortably blur the lines of sexual identity, something Michael has a hard time understanding. Michael comes face to face with a dilemma he’s had for quite some time; of not only questioning his own sexuality, but the notion of sexual identity as a whole, and are labels really necessary? The answer to all his questions lie in, the Morning After.
“Morning After is perfectly timed to speak to the Millennial generation and sexual fluidity in our culture. It presents an incredible opportunity to bring understanding to and raise awareness around sexual identity issues in society,” says filmmaker Patricia Chica.
Outstanding Canadian actors Joey Scarpellino (Les Parents) and Jordana Lajoie (Patrice Lemieux 24-7) both join the team play emancipated Alex and the provocative Dana respectively. The other talented actors are LAMDA-trained Thomas Vallières (the sexually conflicted Michael), Orphan Black regular Zoé de Grand Maison (the vivacious Teegan), and Kristian Hodko (Edward, the catalyst).
