Adapted from the novel Heidegger Stairwell by Kayt Burgess,[1] the film centres on The New Normals, an indie rock band from a small town led by trans man singer Evan (Lane Webber), who move to Toronto in pursuit of stardom.
[2] The cast also includes Daniel Gravelle, June Laporte, Jordan Dawson, Hallea Jones, Jade Hassouné, Xavier Lopez, Gwenlyn Cumyn, Nicolette Pearse, Keara Graves, Evan Buliung, Janelle Cooper, Nicolas Babin and Joe Drinkwalter.
[3] The feature film version went into production in 2022 in North Bay, with its screenplay written by Noel S. Baker, Pat Mills and Zoe Whittall.
We Forgot to Break Up takes place over the span of a few short years, but by the end, Evan and the rest of the band have learned so much (and yet so little) that it feels like a lifetime of experiences.
