It's tough to have those "difficult conversations" when the topic of one of them is in the room....On this episode we dive into a unique little piece of Canadiana which is now available on VOD and confronts the hard issues about hard questions to your loved ones..  It's time for 'Bystanders'.It's reunion time as a group of old friends (now in their 20's) reunite at the traditional spring getaway for the weekend.  We have Kyle who is Justin's brother, Zeke who is Justin's roommate, Lily who is Justin's biggest fan, Sophia who is Justin's worst critic and Ayda who is Justin's first love.  However there's an elephant in the room in confront, they've just heard something horrible about Justin....and he's just walked in the door.Bystanders is really an interesting character study and slice of life from conversations that have and undoubtedly will continue to happen with groups of friends and loved ones out there as we become more and more aware of how we need to treat each other in this world has human beings.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with co-writer/director Koumbie to talk about the origins of the story and so very much more....Bystanders is available on VOD platforms now.
