For your consideration in the Best Live Action Short Drama category at the Canadian Screen Awards 🏆 :

“The Funny Thing About Losing Socks”

From a viral @dangerbean_55 Instagram reel, to a 15 minute short film that helped launch the Emmy Award Winning platform Shibuya Films, the life of this project has been an incredible journey for us.

It was not only a special experience to be able to work with so many talented friends and collaborators, but it demonstrates the changing landscape of the film industry and the exciting world ahead.

Thank you voters for taking the time to watch our film. The voting period to receive a nomination closes Feb 12. @thecdnacademy by @victoroly

@victoroly grew up in a family home that fostered the arts. “We had the classic treasure box full of costumes, after dinner I’d try on costumes, making parents laugh,” he shared over coffee, remembering the “validation from Mom and Dad. I played the drums as a kid, which helped me with editing…film comes down to a rhythm.”

His high school years were defined by athletics and the arts in equal measure, acting in the school plays of his arts high school while balancing a high-performance AAA hockey career. “I originally wanted to be an NHL goalie.”

Ultimately choosing a career in film through @torontomet, Victor expresses he “felt like such a fraud” before starting classes, feeling uneducated in cinematic histories. “I watched 100 movies in 100 days, to expedite becoming a cinephile.”

Spending his undergrad directing, editing and acting, Victor graduated into a young adult life full of short film projects, attending ASC masterclasses, building an enthusiastic community, now setting his sight on his debut feature.

“I’m working on my script, trying to write to fit the parameters of our budget, a traditional 90 minute story. Right now, it’s a dark comedy about an extremely absurd writer’s retreat. I’m inspired by the Coen Brothers, they’re the main reason I wanted to become a director. At this stage in production I’m still looking for a producer.”

When asked what he is looking forward to, Victor shares “The happiest days of my life are on set, I’m so excited to craft a story over many days. So looking forward to finding creative low budget ways to make it high quality, exciting ways to stretch a dollar.”

His advice to young filmmakers: “Your story only gets better the more you share. The more you share, the more others will be invested in you.” by @victoroly
