We created this short film on a small budget, and it has certainly made the rounds in the past year and a half. “The Dreamers” follows three young women (Joee, Kayla and Maya) living in Nova Scotia on their quest to answer the question, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’

Joee is an LGBTQ performer & connector, Kayla a community activist, and Maya an actress and artiste.

We’re happy to be sharing this with you now, and encourage you to share with your friends and family.
