Director Statement

With Teenagers, I saw an opportunity to bring together all of the incredible, underrated talent Toronto has to offer – actors, content creators, filmmakers, musicians – to create an authentic, compelling and entertaining project that could serve as a platform for all of us. The main purpose of Teenagers, though, is to showcase what it really means to be young in the 21st century, without rules or censorship.
