Episode 106: Luna Ferguson & Florian Halbedl
Filmmakers Luna Ferguson and Florian Halbedl visit the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss Henry’s Heart, their short film that screens this month at the 2020 Vancouver Queer Film Festival. In Henry’s Heart, a man named Henry awakens in an overgrown field and travels through a nostalgic reflection of his life by reliving moments of his past loves. Legendary actor Lorne Cardinal – best known to people around the world for playing Sergeant Davis Quinton on Corner Gas – plays Henry at all stages of his life; Jenn MacLean-Angus (Daughter), Malcolm Sparrow-Crawford, and Yukari Komatsu play Henry’s loves. In this thought-provoking and informative conversation, Luna and Florian discuss their journey to bring Henry’s Heart to the screen – including why they wanted Lorne Cardinal for the title role – as well as the importance of on-screen and behind-the-camera representation in the struggle for LGBTQ rights.
