In today's episode, I am joined by writer and director, Deco Dawson. We discuss the making of his debut feature film, "Diaspora". Deco talks about how he found the inspiration for this film and how he found the perfect producing partners. Deco also reflects on the challenges he faced as a writer and director in the entertainment industry. DIASPORA has its world premiere on Saturday, October 8, 2022, at Festival du Nouveau Cinema in Montreal - with a second screening on Monday, October 10th.  About DIASPORA Arriving in Winnipeg's North End, a young Ukrainian immigrant Eva finds a city filled with rundown, outdated establishments and a disproportional number of other, culturally diverse immigrants, all too in search for a new life; each desperately holding onto their own language and culture, creating a neighbourhood of (comedic) miscommunication, growing apathy and often painful alienation.   Festival du Nouveau Cinema Tickets: https://nouveaucinema.ca/fr/films/diaspora Link to the Diaspora website: https://www.diasporathefilm.com/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/canadian-made/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
