8:00am - 10:00am
Mary Galloway is a Cowichan actress and writer, known for Supernatural (2005), Never Steady, Never Still (2017) and Fire Song (2015).
Querencia follows the story of two queer Indigenous women — Daka and Abe. Daka is traditional, shy and closeted, and has just moved to the big city of Vancouver to pursue her life-long dream of becoming a professional dancer. Abe is an urban, confident, out-and-proud musician who lacks connection to her culture. The two women fall in love and help show each other the ropes in their opposing, oftentimes colliding worlds.

Amy Watson used to make commercials until her mind exploded and she decided to only make things she believed in and that she thought other people might like too. She works full time as a gardener at a British stately home (really) and does film making around that.
Amy and her co-director, Dennis, met at a rave five years ago, fell in platonic love and made a film about their shared love of the Manchester ballroom scene. DEEP IN VOGUE is their first film and was self-funded, independent of any production company or business sense.
