NEWSTALK 1010: IN DEPTH WITH MARTHA WAINWRIGHT + SIMU LIU + NICOLE DORSEY.

This week on the Richard Crouse Show our first guest today comes from a musical family. Martha Wainwright is daughter of folk singer and actor Loudon Wainwright III and singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle. Her older brother is Rufus Wainwright… but she has made her own mark with a series of critically acclaimed albums. Her latest is “Love Will Be Reborn,” a record that appears to cover the period of time where Wainwright divorced her husband after about a decade of marriage. “Love Will Be Reborn” was recorded in Wainwright’s hometown of Montreal, in the basement of her cafe, Ursa which also served as a studio. Martha joins us via Zoom from Ursa in Mile End in Montreal.

Then we meet Nicole Dorsey, the director and screenwriter of “Black Conflux,” a film now on VOD after a very successful theatrical run. “The Globe and Mail” praised the story of the lives of a disillusioned teen and an alienated man that converge in 1980s Newfoundland for its “atmosphere of dread and depiction of rural life as a hotbed of sexual fantasies and violence.” Stick around, there’s lots to talk about on that one.

Finally, Marvel’s latest superhero stops by. He’s Canadian, you already know him from starring on “Kim’s Convenience,” but very soon he’ll be best known for playing the title character in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” He’s Marvel’s first Asian superhero, his name is Simu Liu and here joins us today.

NEWSTALK 1010: Black Conflux – Exploring Womanhood and Toxic Masculinity

Richard fills in for Barb DiGiulio on NewsTalk 1010’s The Nightside. Richard speaks with the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based director Nicole Dorsey whose film “Black Conflux” plays at TIFF this year.

TIFF’s Discovery program features new and up-coming talent. “This is where you want to look for the next decades’ masters,” says Cameron Bailey. This year Discovery continues its initiative of championing female filmmakers with 54% of its selections directed by women. One such director is Ryerson University’s film production program graduate and commercial and narrative film director Nicole Dorsey. Her TIFF debut, the Newfoundland set Black Conflux, is a psychological drama involving a teenager and a troubled adult that was a finalist in Francis Ford Coppola’s Zoetrope Screenplay Contest.
