Canadian indie maverick Bruce McDonald will be returning to the Toronto International Film Festival with his latest effort, Weirdos. A black and white affair written by Daniel MacIvor, McDonald veteran Molly Parker takes on a supporting role in the off beat coming of age tale.
It’s the summer of 1976 and 15 year-old Kit (Dylan Authors), bored and restless, is dreaming of a more glamorous life in the big city, away from the small town where he lives with his Dad (Allan Hawco) and grandmother (Cathy Jones). Enlisting the help of his girlfriend Alice (Julia Sara Stone), they hitchhike towards a new home with his glamorous, artistic mother Laura (Molly Parker). As Kit and Alice reach their final destination their relationship is tested as Kit approaches a realization that will change his life forever.
