The World Premiere Screening of: ALWAYS HAD A NICE TIME

Synopsis: Always Had A Nice Time is a character-driven documentary that follows the lives of six different people living in Toronto’s Parkdale community going through transitional moments in their lives.
*Candy is a trans woman whose late sexual awakening has inspired her to live life more boldly.
*Jack is an artist who has created a new art movement (Spiritual Depressionism) and is desperately looking for others to join his cause.
*Kingi is a Toronto fashion designer who has specialized in screen printing clothing for over thirty years. Surviving a devastating fire, she’s struggling to get her business up and running.
*Grizz is an artist living in an encampment at a neighbourhood park. He spends his days painting, getting high, meeting new people, and grieving over the recent loss of his two daughters and granddaughter.
*Best friends, Ron and Phil, are panhandlers. They spend their days drinking, laughing, and bringing smiles to the community. When Ron falls ill, it puts their friend and future of panhandling in jeopardy.
Always Had A Nice Time is a celebration of doing what makes you happy, a rejection of societal norms, and a reminder that happiness looks different for each and every one of us.
