Markham at the Movies presents the coming-of-age comedy I Like Movies, a heart-warming story about a socially awkward 17-year-old cinephile who takes a part-time job at a video store, and forms a complicated friendship with his older store manager, Alana. The film will be preceded by a recorded introduction from star Romina D’Ugo, who plays Alana.

Summary

Lawrence (Lehtinen), an awkward and anxious 17-year-old cinephile living in Burlington, ON, in the early 2000s, believes that he is on the path to a legendary filmmaking career – but at this point, it’s only gotten him as far as a job at the local video store. His blind ambition, combined with his unique worldview, confounds even those closest to him, and he soon starts to alienate his new manager Alana (D’Ugo) and even his best friend (Hynes White), forcing him to decide what he’s willing to sacrifice on the road to success.

A true movie for movie lovers, Chandler Levack’s debut feature is a charming coming-of-age story that perfectly captures small-town Canadian adolescence. 

Cast Isaiah Lehtinen, Krista Bridges, Dan Beirne, Romina D'ugo
