In a remote small town, a neuro-divergent teen, Star (Sarah Walker), forms an unlikely rapport with an international student from Shanghai, An (Ziyin Zheng), volunteering at the hospital where she is a patient. Between the two, a bond forms, cemented by their candid conversations, nightly text messages, and exchange of their deepest secrets. The boundaries of their friendship quickly expand into something special, altering their inner alchemy. QUEENS OF THE QING DYNASTY is a story that breaches the absurd and poetic, the platonic and the romantic. Both intimate and intense, it explores the intrinsic beauty and innate flaws of what it is to be human, the profundity of connection, and the vortex of mental illness. The electronic music score blurs between cinema foley and sound design to create a feeling of an alternate plane. The film is an affectionate ode to women, asexuals, and neuro-diverse and gender queer individuals who exist beyond the norms of society. QUEENS OF THE QING DYNASTY is produced by Britt Kirr, Nelson MacDonald, and McKenzie, with music by Cecile Believe and Yu Su and cinematography by Scott Moore. Director and writer Ashley McKenzie (Werewolf) joins us for a conversation on the casting of film stars Sarah Walker and Ziyin Zheng, working with them to get their pitch perfect performances, and finding her own creative space outside the cinematic circles, of Toronto and Montreal, in Nova Scotia working with local artist.

Pre-worlds interview with Double Olympian and European medallist Ashley McKenzie, who talks about getting into judo, reality TV and his Olympic goals.

Any filmmaker will tell you that the journey to getting their first feature made is full of ups and downs. But what exactly are the biggest challenges facing aspiring filmmakers and how can we make things easier and more accessible for future generations? To learn more, Rob, and special guest host Chandler Levack, sit down with director Ashley McKenzie, whose debut film ‘Werewolf’ garnered a tonne of attention and admiration at last year’s TIFF. Ashley talks about her long path to getting ‘Werewolf’ made (5:40), why she considers her films “termite art” (13:25), and why young filmmakers need to question the systems in place and find a method that works for them (15:50). She also explains why she thinks female filmmakers have more to prove than their male peers (21:30), why she doesn’t feel at a disadvantage working out of Cape Breton Island (29:30), and why, despite ‘Werewolf’s’ success, she’s not confident that making her second film will be an easier road (30:40) Ashley is currently an ambassador for TIFF’s Share Her Journey campaign, a five year initiative prioritizing gender parity within the film industry.

Ashley McKenzie is the type of director that does it all. The Canadian multi-hyphenate runs her own production company, writes her own scripts, and directs all of the company's films. When she’s on set, however, she gives up almost all notions of planning and control to make her shots as organic and in the moment as possible. For her debut feature, Werewolf, which has won awards at almost every regional Canadian festival she’s brought it to, this included throwing the actors into real-life situations, adding events into scenes without telling them, keeping the camera rolling after the scene had cut, and even casting non-actors as key characters at locations on the fly. The film itself follows a pair of outcast methadone users who push a rusty lawnmower door-to-door to cut grass for money to feed their addiction. No Film School’s Jon Fusco sat down with McKenzie and her two lead actors Andrew Gillis and Breagh MacNeil to discuss their intensely real collaboration.
