Emma Cheuk

Grace Pine, a 24-year-old music critic, moves to Montreal to write a book on Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill, but her plans are complicated when she becomes romantically involved with two members of an indie band she is covering and decides to become their publicist.

A naive and wide-eyed girl moves into a dorm with her best friend. As her friend grows up and moves on, she fights to maintain her relationship with her, while also struggling to come of age on her own terms.

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Lukas Clay brings earnest lyricism and coming-of-age fantasies with a textural alt-pop and well, gay, sound. Produced in the living room with producer Aaron William Smith, Lukas Clay's Debut EP and film 'Wasted Lies' is a self-portrait of a younger self, struggling with sexual and gender identity within the LGBTQ+ community, relationships, and a rude introduction to a world outside of the safety of 'home'.
