​

A street-busking Pierrot clown dreams of fame, but finds the place she's calling home less than supportive.

​

VOID OF JOY was the Nostalgice Film entry for the Toronto 48 Hour Film Fest, written, filmed and edited within a weekend from October 14 to 16 2022. Following the story of a performer finding herself in a home she doesn't feel welcome in anymore, VOID OF JOY was the collaboration of 18 creatives -- cast and crew -- giving up their weekend to create something incredible together.
