Rising Canadian talents Lane Webber Daniel Gravelle, June Laporte, Jordan Dawson and Hallea Jones have joined the cast of indie music feature We Forgot To Break Up.
The film is based on the award-winning TIFF 2017 short film of the same name in which a young man meets up with his now-famous, former bandmates after a long absence.
The film will feature original music by Torquil Campbell from the Montreal band Stars, as well as a soundtrack of early 2000s indie music from bands such as The Pixies, and Cub.
Director and actress Karen Knox will direct We Forgot To Break Up, taking her second feature film credit after Adult Adoption, which screened at the Calgary, Glasgow and Soho film festivals.
Nicole Hillard-Forde at Toronto-based Motel Pictures Inc is lead producing with financing from Telefilm Canada, Ontario Creates, NOHFC, and Urban Post.
Executive Producers on the project include Justin Kelly, Mark Gingras and John Laing, with Ben Farella attached as an Associate Producer.
Jordan Jordan Kennington (Suze, The Swearing Jar) is attached as cinematographer.
“We’re very excited to have director Karen Knox on board, as her perspective and keen observations of human beings, mixed with her aesthetic prowess, make her a perfect fit,” said Hillard-Forde.
We Forgot To Break Up will begin to start filming in North Bay, Ontario in early November 2022.
