Closeted single dad Sam (Jacob Sampson) finds his world upended when he meets a handsome stranger. Meanwhile, his daughter Ella (Phoebe Rex) struggles with the challenges of teenagerhood and their writer’s block-suffering neighbour Claire (Amy Groening) tries to mine this offbeat father/daughter duo for source material.
An ensemble comedy about love, choreographed dance, kitchen safety, stranger danger, planetary physics, and the idea that it’s never too late in life to figure out who you really are.
Kevin Hartford makes absurdist gay sci-fi ensemble comedies that would be G-rated were it not for all the swearing.
His debut feature was 2022’s microbudget indie Lemon Squeezy, which premiered at the Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Several of his short films have appeared on CBC.
Kevin’s sophomore feature, To the Moon, was made through Telefilm. It premiered at the Atlantic International Film Festival in 2024 and was an Opening Night Film at the 2025 Reelout Queer Film Festival.
