When a young busker's dream of reaching the big top falters, she is forced to look inward to decide her fate.

​

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.
