It can take something outside of the norm to shake us out of our standard situations....On this special episode we are diving back into the saddle and back into the archives for an interview we did almost a year ago, but is coming to theatres now.  It's time for the story of 'Darkest Miriam'.Miriam Gordon (Britt Lower) lives in a fog of grief while working amidst marginalized members of the public who populate this local branch of the Toronto Public Library. When a burgeoning love-affair coincides with her receiving a series of oddly threatening letters addressed to her, Miriam's sheltered existence is about to upended in ways she couldn't have imagined.This is a deeply intense psycho drama that takes us down the rabbit hole that love and grief can do to people in some pretty weird ways.We had the chance to talk with writer/director Naomi Jaye to talk about it all and then some.

On this special episode, Eric chats with Sook-Yin Lee, director of Paying For It.

Relationships change.On this very special episode we dive into one of our favorite Canadian films of the last calendar year which is now playing at the Scotiabank Theatre; it's time for 'Paying For It'.'Paying For It' is a live-action adaptation of acclaimed alternative-cartoonist Chester Brown's best-selling graphicnovel. In the late 90s, Chester and Sonny are a long-term, committed, romantic couple. When Sonny wants toredefine their relationship, Chester, an introverted cartoonist, starts sleeping with sex workers and discovers a newkind of intimacy in the process. 'Paying For It' is about love, sex and non-monogamy for adults. It deals with thecomplicated subject of the exchange for sex-work versus the complications of romantic love.Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by Chester Brown this is such a sweet and honest examination of the ever evolving nature of intimacy and one of the reasons that it hits so darn well is because a lot of it is pulled from the life of the films writer/director, the one and only Sook-Yin Lee.Before the film debuted back at TIFF, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Sook-Yin to talk about the nature of the story, the personal and broader elements of it all as she brought this passion project to screen.'Paying For It' is in select theatres across Canada now.

In Sook-Yin Lee's new film, “Paying For It,” a couple whose romantic attraction is waning decide to open up their relationship. While Sonny explores dating, her introverted boyfriend, Chester, opts to hire sex workers. The story is based on Sook-Yin's real-life former relationship with Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown, who released a bestselling graphic memoir of the same name in 2011. It reflects on intimacy, connection, the rights of sex workers, the boundaries we put around relationships, and Toronto in the ‘90s. Sook-Yin joins Tom Power to talk about the movie and what she learned in the process of making it. Plus, she discusses her early work as a MuchMusic VJ, and how she struggled to deal with the slow cultural shift from alternative music to boy bands.

Axelle de Sade, Meta Tshiteya sont les autrices, et Stella Polaris la dessinatrice de "Kink : Manuel de sexualités créatives". Un ouvrage très documenté et original dans sa forme puisqu'il propose des conseils et exercices pratiques, des nouvelles érotiques, des interviews d'experts, expertes, etc. Le but est d'explorer les sexualités au-delà des normes de la sexualité traditionnelle (BDSM, fétichisme, jeux de rôle ou d'impact, etc.), mais avec un angle résolument féministe, inclusif, politique. J'ai pu poser toutes mes questions sur différentes pratiques, comportements, fantasmes. Une discussion passionnante !Quoi de mieux pour la Saint-Valentin qui approche, pour les personnes qui la fêtent ou pas, par choix ou non, que d'offrir et de s'offrir ce merveilleux ouvrage de 354 pages !

Ce terme, kink, d'origine anglo-saxonne, est de plus en plus utilisé en français pour désigner des préférences, des fantasmes, des comportements ou des pratiques sexuelles qui sortent des normes de la sexualité traditionnelle (BDSM, fétichisme, jeux de rôle ou d'impact, etc.). En effet, la première particularité de ce manuel est qu'il réfute l'association systématique de la sexualité avec la génitalité. Or, ce n'est qu'une des facettes de la sexualité, et cet ouvrage, s'il l'aborde abondamment, ne la considère pas comme son propos central. Peu importent le genre, l'orientation sexuelle, le kink fait exploser les normes, invite à trouver ce qui nous parle, en couple ou non, à tout âge, etc. Ouvrir le champ des possibles, sortir de la routine : chaque personne est invitée à explorer sa singularité pour enrichir ses fantasmes et accéder à une sexualité joyeuse et créative. Ce livre porte aussi un projet politique : après la grande révélation, apportée par le mouvement #MeToo, du gouffre qui se creuse entre la vision patriarcale de la sexualité et la perception des femmes qui la subissent, il propose un regard neuf, centré sur le consentement, le respect, le désir et le plaisir, sous la plume de trois femmes ayant focalisé leur travail sur l'exploration et la transmission des mille moyens d'y parvenir." https://www.placedeslibraires.fr/livre/9782380823363-kink-manuel-de-sexualites-creatives-axelle-de-sade-meta-tshiteya-stella-polaris/Qui sont les autrices : aXelle de Sade, dominatrice professionnelle, est la cofondatrice de l'association Érosticratie, du festivalÉrosphère.

Directed by Sook-Yin Lee, PAYING FOR IT tells the story of Sonny (Emily Le) and Chester (Daniel Beirne), a couple who are no more. As the film opens, Sonny explains that she has found the arms of another and she wants to ‘see where it goes', leaving Chester feeling alienated. Shy and introverted, Chester decides to start sleeping with sex workers in order to satisfy his basic needs yet discovers a new kind of intimacy in the process. In this 1on1, we speak to Beirne about the meaning of intimacy and the building blocks of a good relationship.

Weekend AM's Melissa Tobin speaks with filmmaker and former MuchMusic VJ Sook-Yin Lee about her new film, Paying For It, which closed the 2024 St. John's International Women's Film Festival. 

In this special episode, Sook-Yin Lee, the iconic radio and TV broadcaster, musician, film director, actress, and trailblazing MuchMusic veejay, and Chester Brown, the acclaimed alternative cartoonist, swing by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast studio to talk about Paying For It. The feature film – which had its premiere in Toronto and screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival – is a live-action adaptation of Chester's best-selling graphic novel that was inspired by the end of his relationship with Sook-Yin (who, in the film, is represented by a character named Sonny who works as a veejay at MaxMusic). Here's the premise for both the book and the film: In the late 90s, Chester and Sonny are a long-term, committed, romantic couple. When Sonny wants to redefine their relationship, Chester, an introverted cartoonist, starts sleeping with sex workers and, in the process, discovers a new kind of intimacy. “Paying For It: a comic strip memoir about being a john” was adapted for the screen by Sook-Yin and Joanne Sarazen; the film was directed by Sook-Yin and stars Dan Beirne as Chester and Emily Le as Sonny. In this riveting interview, Sook-Yin and Chester speak candidly about their journey to bring this story to the screen, art as activism, and if Canadians are ready to talk about sex work as work.Episode sponsor: Fish Flight Entertainment

In the film "Paying For It," the character Chester is looking for sexual relationships without emotional entanglement. So, he turns to sex workers. The movie is adapted from a graphic novel by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown. Writer-director Sook-Yin Lee talks about bringing the film to the Atlantic International Film Festival.

A few months ago filmmaker Sean Menard released his MuchMusic documentary entitled 299 Queen Street West, celebrating the history and cultural significance of what would come to be known as "The Nation's Music Station".  I attended the premiere screening at Roy Thomson Hall in downtown Toronto, spoke to Rick Campanelli, Denise Donlon, Ed the Sock, Sook-Yin Lee, Bill Welychka, and other Much alum as they walked the red carpet, and offer my personal thoughts on the film here.     

Karim Kanji and Gregg Tilston take to the red carpet at the 299 Queen Street West Much Music documentary premiere to speak with former VJs. Karim interviews former Much Music VJs about their favourite memories of Much Music, including stories of their experiences at the network and the impact of the station on Canadian culture. Gregg and Karim also talked about the premiere of the Much Music documentary, 299 Queen Street West, and the opportunity to meet special guests, including Ed the Sock, Steve Anthony, Monika Deol, Sook-Yin Lee, Denise Donlon, and musician Andy Kim. Additionally, Andy Kim shared details about his upcoming Christmas show at Massy Hal. Gregg and Karim reminisced about past interviews with Much Music VJs. Overall, the interviews were a nostalgic and engaging discussion of Much Music's influence on viewers and the music industry.

Lindsey Campbell and Mark Davies examine another film funded by Telefilm to see if it worth appreciating. This time it's Sook-Yin Lee's film OCTAVIO IS DEAD. A cryptic tale with no lack of sexual undertones, Octavio is Dead! follows Tyler (Sarah Gadon) on an adventure of self-discovery.In OCTAVIO IS DEAD Tyler escapes her overbearing mother (Rosanna Arquette) and travels to the rich and surreal world of her deceased father, Octavio (Raoul Trujillo), a father she never knew. She discovers that “the past is never dead” as she navigates her own sexual identity and the occult. Her ability to know the difference between fantasy and reality becomes an obstacle for Tyler, and she speaks to her late father who tells her that “you can't hide forever.”

Vancouver's Mint Records yesterday released Soon-Yin Lee and Adam Litovitz jooj two album.  Behind the release, there’s a very personal story – the love and loss between Sook and Adam.   "When we were making the song ‘Wrecking Heart’, Adam and I looked at each other, blown away by this song that was like nothing we’d ever written. It began with a supercharged sonic fragment he made that became the foundation of an unapologetic banger of a song that possessed and moved through us. We blasted it on the stereo, danced and air-guitared to it. Unconsciously, our lyrics seemed to telegraph our separation. “It sounds like a break up song,” he said, much to our disbelief at a time when we were very much together. But life challenges ended up pushing us in different directions. Though separated, we remained best friends, holding out hope that we would make our way back to each other. Adam landed a job scoring a TV series and I worked on our album, incorporating his notes. He said that he looked forward to playing cathartic meltdown live shows with me. But that was not to be. Adam is no longer here. I believe he exists on other planes, in those who love him, and in our music, in his music, drawings and writing. With this album, ‘jooj two’, I pick up the pieces of this Wrecking Heart, honoured to share our music." - Sook-Yin Lee   Adam took his own life. Sook-Yin patiently takes us through what happened and how it shaped the songs and her life. And yes, even though all this, we share smiles and laughs. I’ve known Sook-Yin a  long time... I think it shows in the discussion. Follow Sook-Yin Lee Instagram • Facebook • Twitter • YouTube • Bandcamp • Spotify • Apple

In 2019, veteran broadcaster and arts journalist Mark Wigmore debuted the first season of his new podcast, Art at the End of the World. The interview-based program features artists, entertainers, and innovators speaking to their life experience and craft while reflecting on what it is to make and curate art within the difficulty surrounding the current political, ecological and cultural climate. Season One welcomed comedian Chris Locke, world-conquering DJ Skratch Bastid, TIFF Co-head Cameron Bailey, theatre maven Britta Johnson, broadcast legend John Donabie, actress Karen Robinson, provocateur Sook-Yin Lee, and classical/jazz/world pianist & composer Ron Davis, among others. Season 2 will welcome neo-classical phenomenon Alexandra Streliski, Theatre groundbreakers Chris Abraham & Weyni Mengesha, documentarian Alan Zweig, and many more. Get to know the artists and thinkers helping to shape culture, and find out how they create and reflect, here at the end.

Listen to Sook-Yin Lee and Adam Litovitz as they make Beef Stew (with some seriously delicious Georgian spices called Kharcho) in their Instant Pot. They cook together and make music together and, years ago, Adam was the one who asked Sook-Yin the life-changing question: What makes you happy? This question comes up in a memorable scene in Sook-Yin’s brand new brilliant film Octavio Is Dead! and the scene stayed with me because of its simple profundity. We should do what makes us happy. Find out what makes Sook-Yin happy now, listen to her talk about her Sunday night dinners growing up, her work, reciprocity, and what happened the first time she used the Instant Pot. Some of the music in this episode is made by Sook-Yin, Adam and Alia O'Brien for Octavio Is Dead! and is put out by Last Gang Records.

Edward Westerhuis is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. His work moves between visual art, video, and performance--often collaborating with other artists and working within the community. He creates imaginative worlds that play with an epic sense of scale, forming allegories that reflect the places he lives. Whether he's making sci-fi cardboard puppet shows, or music videos with giant dancing cats, Edward uses humour to create the unexpected and to carve out space for new perspectives. Edward has presented his work across Canada, from coast to coast, including the Yukon Arts Centre, the Banff Centre, and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/doublecat In this episode, Edward discusses: -How he got started down the creative path that got him to the point he is at now. -How he came up with the idea for his "Double Cat" video. -The deeper meaning behind the "Double Cat" video. -His Tedx talk and the differences that performance art brings to the creation process. -The hilarious story of one of his first creative moments. -The creative lull that came into his life when he moved back home from school and how he got past it. -The power that comes with mapping your creativity out to find out what works for you. -Moving around, taking a walk, or doing some "lighter" creative work in order to clear your head when you need it. -The idea of taking the pressure off of yourself by not worrying about the final product. -One of his lowest moments, when he attended a film festival while in a creative drought and feeling like an imposter. -The way he got out of his drought by working as Sook-Yin Lee's Director's Assistant. -How Sook-Yin Lee was a role model for him and gave him the courage to be able to move between disciplines and art forms. -How he likes when art can bring people together to form new types of interaction around the artwork. -What art and creativity bring to his life. Edward's Final Push will inspire you to find ways to shut out the anxiety of being overwhelmed by your creative end goal.   Quotes: "Over time, I've been able to recognize my own process and see how you develop an idea from a glimpse of an image to a fully thought-out project." "It was this slow-burning idea that was just creeping over time." "When I work on a desk, I can't have anything on my desk except for what I'm working on that very moment because I get way too distracted." "You're always trying to remove the anxiety from your process.  You don't want to be anxious while working because then you just get suffocated." "When I'm making art now, I really think about my audience.  I think about creating opportunities that exist outside the artwork itself." "I really love the opportunities for the face-to-face social interaction that can happen around artwork." "One of the reasons why I love collaborating so much is because I can see people on a much deeper level.  We are able to build a communication that is very specific to an art piece but also has reverberations beyond that on a human-to-human level." "Don't make it so big.  Make it small and make it an opportunity to learn about who you are." "Find ways to shut out the anxiety of being overwhelmed by that end goal." "Allow yourself to explore and embrace not knowing where you're going."   Links mentioned: Double Cat Video Edward's Tedx Talk Ramshackle Theatre "The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life" by Twyla Tharp "Letters to a Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke “Your Elusive Creative Genius” – Elizabeth Gilbert’s TED Talk Your Creative Push Episode 082: Interview with Li Chen of Extra Ordinary Comics Connect with Edward: Website / Facebook / Instagram / Twitter / Snapchat

It's not often that Chester Brown comes out with a new book, but his latest, Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus, was released last month from Drawn & Quarterly...giving the Two Guys with PhDs an occasion to celebrate. And compounding that celebratory spirit is the fact that the artist is now appearing on The Comics Alternative podcast! In this episode, Andy and Derek are pleased to have Chester as their guest, where they talk with him about his new book, the research that went into it, and the reaction he's been getting from readers and critics. Mary Wept over the Feet of Jesus is a series of adaptations of Old and New Testament texts as they relate to prostitution and religious observance. In it, Chester interprets the stories of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, Mary of Bethany, and Mary, mother of Jesus, along with other narratives that surround Book of Genesis, the Gospel of Matthew, and the Parables of the Talents and the Prodigal Son. What all of these explorations have in common, and what Chester makes clear during the interview, is how all inform a reading of scripture surrounding sex workers. The guys talk with their guest about these issues and how his previous works -- Paying for It as well as his earlier comics adapting the Gospels of both Mark and Matthew -- may have laid the groundwork for the current study. Much of the conversation is spent on Chester's almost-lifelong research into biblical scholarship, especially as it comes out in the extensive notes he includes in Mary Wept...hand-written annotations that take up almost a third of his book! But Andy and Derek also ask Chester about his earlier comics, such as Ed the Happy Clown, The Playboy, and Louis Riel, the death of serialization within small-press comics, and his single-panel method of composition. In other words, the guys cover a lot of ground during this interview. But as Derek and Andy point out toward the end of this episode, there was some interesting conversation that took place after the guys turned off their recording devices. But fret not; Derek was able to capture some of that talk once they realized how appropriate it would have been in their recorded interview. So if you listen all the way through to the very end of this episode, after the closing theme music, you'll be able to hear a few comments as an extra added bonus. Much thanks, not only to Chester Brown, but to Sook-Yin Lee who helped to make this interview possible by providing her Skype account (and who can be heard in the background toward the end of the podcast preparing dinner).
