It’s been amazing to collaborate with actor – SHOMARI DOWNER, co-writing his new short “THEODORE”. Shomari Downer draws from a diverse range of life experiences, realities and communities to bring his characters to life. From stage to television to film, Downer’s passion for authentic storytelling and honest characters has led him to explore a variety of emotions and characters, from his start onscreen in John Singleton’s film, Four Brothers, to his leading roles in the films One Angry Juror and Edging. From starring in “Aneemah’s Spot” by playwright Motion, to co-writing “THEODORE” – his short for the 2019 CFC Actors Showcase – there are more creative collaborations to be released in 2020!
Directed by REZA DAHYA. Written by MOTION & SHOMARI DOWNER. Score by IVA DELIC. Produced by Canadian Film Centre.
