dc.description.abstract“Chance Road” is a feature film set in Toronto in 1999. It details the fictional life of a young boy who grows up without a father, and invents an imaginary father in his absence. He meets a young woman who teaches him how to read and write, and fosters his creative mind, but what he doesn’t know is that this young woman is the very person he’s been looking for––––his biological father, now transitioned to female. Written by Eva Everett Irving, this project was inspired by a short lifetime of personal lived experiences; from growing up in the church, being a queer child in the 90's, to living abroad and struggling with gender identity. "Chance Road" is a fictional family drama, and the culmination of Irving's MFA at York University.
