Thrilled to share that my documentary short film Unfolding Faith, produced by the National Film Board of Canada, will have its world premiere at Calgary International Film Festival this fall. ✨

In this nuanced and timely short film, Elyse Bouvier explores how her decision to give up her faith redefined both her identity and her relationships with her parents. In raw yet empathic conversations with her devout mother and her father, a former pastor turned atheist, she touches on themes of emotional connection, intellectual pursuit and mixed-faith families.

Director of Photography: Patrick McLaughlin

Meet Stevie the Subaru Forester! Younger sister of @rhondathefit (RIP) and @myswedishvalentine, Stevie joined the family after Rhonda's tragic demise, ready for the road!

Her inaugural trip to Winnipeg (over 3,000 km round trip) was smooth sailing. Consider me a Subaru girlie now and this as my official queer coming out. 💜🏳️‍🌈

But I mean, look at those sexy lines, those 365 degree views, that analogue dashboard. 🥵 Oh, and she's a stick shift. 🤤 How can a girl not swoon?

This account is managed by wannabe car girl @elysebouvier. Watch this space! I've got plans for this ride. 🔥 by @elysebouvier

Finally sharing some of these beautiful film shots from H & E's dreamy autumn wedding on Prince's Island. ✨

We shot a bunch of older film stock with some of my vintage camera collection. These were shot on a 1950 Ansco Speedex.

Elyse Bouvier (@elysebouvier) is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer who recently wrote and directed the short documentary, Unfolding Faith, for the National Film Board of Canada (@onf_nfb). In her nuanced and timely short film, Elyse explores how her decision to give up her faith redefined both her identity and her relationships with her parents.

Listen to our conversation with Elyse anywhere you listen to podcasts or at braaainspodcast.com/episodes/unfolding-faith

We spoke to Elyse about her deconversion journey from the Pentecostal Church and Evangelical Christianity, and about what it was like to have raw yet empathetic conversations about faith while making her documentary with her devout mother and her father, a former pastor turned atheist. We also discussed shows like Unorthodox and films about transformation like Barbie and Wild, and how Elyse would love to see TV and film tackle the nuanced and grey areas of the deconversion process and what it is like to live in mixed-faith families.

You can stream Unfolding Faith, Elyse’s raw and empathetic new short documentary, for free on NFB.ca and the NFB Films app!
