Daniel Garber talks with Justin McConnell and Jack Foley about Lifechanger
Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.
It’s Christmastime at a bar in Toronto.
Julia is a young woman sitting in her usual spot, trying to forget her own tragic history. She chats with the usual suspects – strange men trying to hit on her, and women looking for a shoulder to cry on. But what she doesn’t realize is that most of the strangers she talks to each night… are all the same person.
Then there’s Drew. He suffers from a bizarre illness. The only way he can survive is to refresh his body by inhabiting a new one… until the body is worn out and he moves on to the next. Can Drew tell Julia the truth and convince her to accept his unusual lifestyle?
Or is that just too big a life change for either of them to accept?
Lifechanger is a new fantasy/horror movie that will keep you guessing till the end.
It’s written and directed by Justin McConnell (who I interviewed 5 years ago about his documentary Skull World.) Lifechanger has won multiple awards at international film festivals across North America and around the world. It co-stars Jack Foley as the romantic lead… who is also a man with a secret.
The film opens today in Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa.
I spoke with actor Jack Foley and writer/director Justin McConnell in studio at CIUT 89.5 FM.
