TIGHT LETTUCE takes the Gold Audience Award, Best Québec Feature @fantasiafestival 2026 🏆

Voted the favorite Québec film by the festival’s audience at its 30th edition. Truly proud of the whole team who poured their hearts into this one, our energized director, the entire cast, crew, and everyone who believed in it.

“A sobering but winsome addiction dramedy... there’s something magical here.” — RogerEbert.com

Congrats to our fellow winners and every filmmaker who swung big this year at the fest! 

Tight Lettuce is currently set for some limited theatrical releases. Follow us to keep up 🎬 and find us at the cinema!

“An assured, brave and bold directorial debut.” — Neil Baker, Cinerama Film. 

Cinepunx called it a film that “weaves between Harmony Korine slice-of-life storytelling” and something more tender. 

Directed by Harrison Houde.

“A performance that follows an actor around for years.” — AndersonVision, on Emmanuel Bilodeau as Bodo — a charming, maddening, magnetic father you can’t look away from.

“You can truly feel his hurt, pain, and frustration.” — Alice Boyd-Leslie, FILMHOUNDS, on Dakota Daulby as Joel, the son trying to save a father who may not want saving.

“Burke’s go-for-broke performance hits the bullseye every time.” — Thomas Duffy, FilmBook, on Christie Burke as Taylor, the partner watching it all unfold.

“Houde’s command of his cast is supreme — there’s something magical here.” — Clint Worthington, RogerEbert.com. High praise from one of the most respected names in film criticism. Definitely recommend you find the full write up. 

“The writing is careful, calculated, yet feels natural, organic even.” — Emilie Black, Cinema Crazed. Written by Harrison Houde and Dakota Daulby, from the story of Rayden Wickop.

“A devastating depiction of familial dissolution in the face of addiction.” — Justin Lore, Cinepunx. Funny, raw, and unafraid to sit in the wreckage.

This is what we’re here to make. Follow @vesperiafilms for behind the scenes, and what’s coming next from this team!

Our first feature, TIGHT LETTUCE, premieres today at @fantasiafestival.

We first began developing the true story of @raydenwickop and his father, Bodo, back in 2022 as a short film, hoping that one day we’d get the chance to tell it as a feature. Thanks to @vital.productions @vital.distribution that opportunity became an insane reality — Harrison, @sikora__jan, Rayden, and I got to head to Saint-Adèle together to make the film. We spent two months together in a chalet in rural Quebec. We filmed. We played pool in our basement. Watched endless movies. And drifted a car too many times. Best of all, we got to make the film with some of my best friends @christiemburke @joshcruddas @by_adambel @jennkhoe 

@harrisonhoude and I have been making films together for almost a decade. I’m so freaking proud of the director you’ve shown yourself to be. Standing here today with our first feature premiering at Fantasia is something I’ll never take for granted.

More crazy content while we were making our sizzle reel for our feature film script!

We got some freezing temperatures, some middle of the night migraines (yes @jessbarbusci Midol works for headaches 🤣), some Tarantino foot shots and ridiculously clumsy looking on the spot running (you’re welcome). 

Stay tuned for more on this project! We’re super excited about it! 

Side rant, still can’t believe we can’t really post portrait shots and landscape shots in one carousel on instagram 🙄

Finally found time to post about this epic thing we did!!! 

This past year, @alessandro_president @alex_gravey and I have been working super hard writing our thriller feature film screenplay! 

Like the crazy creatives we are, we got a bunch of incredible artists together who were willing to film our sizzle reel all through the night in the middle of a bug infested forest and drenched in a freezing lake at dawn! The love and commitment was real. Producing and acting simultaneously is not for the faint of heart, but so so rewarding.

It was wild, it was tough but man was it fun! We are super excited to share more about this project in time, but for now enjoy all the behind the scenes!!

So proud of this team, truly! Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen! You’re all incredible!
