WOMAN MEETS GIRL
FESTIVAL & WORLD PREMIERE PUBLICITY
We were thrilled to partner with Process Entertainment for the world premiere of the short film Woman Meets Girl. Written, directed & executive produced by Murry Peeters and starring and produced by Enuka Okuma (Workin’ Moms, Rookie Blue), this engaging and quirky film premiered at the Toronto Black Film Festival and Queer Screen's 30th Mardi Gras Film Festival on February 18, 2023. We were also pleased to support the film when it screened at the Vancouver Short Film Festival on June 2, 2023.
Woman Meets Girl is an emotionally charged Queer story about the unlikely connection between two seemingly opposite protagonists. Okuma stars as quiet and introverted Annabelle, alongside the wild and daring Tessie, played by Chelsea Russell (SkyMed, See), who recently received accolades for her performance in TO Live and Soulpepper Theatre’s ‘da Kink in My Hair.
“Written and directed by Murry Peeters, this sensitively handled character study, set in the suburban home where Annabelle has apparently taken Tessie in, works because of its nuanced acting.”
— Janet Smith, Stir
We collaborated with the Woman Meets Girl team to book interviews, events listings and reviews in national and local media outlets. We worked closely with Murry Peeters and Enuka Okuma to book interviews in a variety of reputable Canadian arts outlets. The Hollywood Reporter, ETalk, In the Seats With, She Does the City, Frameline and Stir Vancouver are just some of the media outlets that covered the highly-anticipated film.
Woman Meets Girl is written and directed by Murry Peeters (See, Maid), is produced by Okuma, Adria Budd-Johnson (Reboot), Joe Gasparik (The Drum Doctor) and Executive Producers Anthony Q. Farrell (Shelved, Run the Burbs) and Aine Rock (Ctrl Alt Delete), with cinematography by Stuart Campbell (Mayor of Kingstown, The Handmaid’s Tale). The film was warmly received by critics and viewers alike and won Best Canadian Short Film and Best Performance for Enuka Okuma at the Vancouver Short Film Festival in 2023.
