A very special screening from an emerging Canadian cinema talent will be brought to you on the 6th of March at 7:00pm. Charles Officer studied visual art at Cambridge and communication design at the Ontario College of Art and Design. He has worked on stage, and in film productions. His first foray into filmmaking, the short When Morning Comes, premiered at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival to wide acclaim and critical praise.
Nurse.Fighter.Boy is a beautifully potent urban love story about the soul of a mother, the heart of a fighter, and the faith of a child. Jude is a single mother who descends from a long line of Jamaican caregivers. Silence is a ‘past-his-prime’ boxer who fights illegally to make ends meat. Ciel is a boy who delves into music, conjuring dreams for his mother. During the last week of summer, a late night brawl finds the fighter in the nurse’s care causing their three fates to come together and remain forever entwined.
