Written and directed by Sarah Watts and Mark Slutsky, YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER tells the story of Jaime (Anwen O\\u2019Driscoll), a teenager who grew up in Thunder Bay with a love for sci-fi and smoking weed. After her father\\u2019s passing, her mother\\u2019s struggles with mental health become more severe and she sends Jaime to live with her aunt (Liane Balaban) and uncle (Antoine Yared). Her aunt and uncle are dedicated members of the Jehovah\\u2019s Witness community and insist on Jaime\\u2019s involvement in their religious practices. However, Jaime is gay and, although she keeps her sexuality private, she finds herself alienated in this environment. Things begin to change though when she meets Marike (June Laporte), a young woman who instantly sparks a forbidden attraction between them both. In this 1on1, we speak to Watts and Slutsky about the breakdown between faith and love & owning the truth.
