šŸ“£ Our Pride Pop Up Screening is next week and here is the fifth, and final, short film we are showcasing!! Check out our profile for the four other short films in case you missed them..

ā€˜Blueā€™ is a drama about an indecisive doctoral student that must help a precocious photographer unravel the mysteries of synaesthesia if either of them hope to escape the drudgery of a life without colour.

Directed by Jason Hamilton
Genre: Drama

Jason Hamilton is a self-taught writer/director/producer originally from Southern Ontario who now lives in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. His passion for film began in his teenage years and was spurred on by his mother, Barbara, after she convinced his father, Rob, to buy him his first camera. His mother continually told him she wished she could help him make one of his ā€˜movie ideasā€™ a reality but never had the money ā€“ however, she encouraged him to keep writing, developing and making experimental videos, assuring him his dreams would come true.
