TEXAS PREMIERE followed by Q&A with filmmakers in attendance

Sook-Yin Lee brings a very personal story of her own to the silver screen with her latest film PAYING FOR IT. After breaking things off with her longtime partner, Chester (Daniel Beirne), Sonny (Emily Lê) has a lot of fun while re-aquatinting herself with the Toronto dating scene. Chester has some trouble at first, but later finds his footing while seeking intimacy with sex workers. Brutally honest and raw, Lee’s insightful and inventive dramedy is not one to be missed. - Neha Aziz, Artistic Director
