Trevor Anderon's Queer Coming-Of-Age Film 'Before I Change My Mind' Comes to Vancouver! 

Enrolling in a new high school in Alberta, 1987, gender-ambivalent Robin (Vaughan Murrae) disarms the class Alpha male, Carter (Dominic Lippa) on a school trip to Edmonton Mall, then tentatively hooks up with the latter’s latest crush, Izzy (Lacey Oake), the lead in a community theatre production of Mary Magdalene: Video Star… Trevor Anderson’s accomplished coming of age movie slyly subverts expectations, embracing complexity and contradiction in its nuanced take on fledgling identities, while delivering laugh out loud moments and big emotional showdowns.

Anderson — making his first feature — also has a cameo here as the director of the Magdalene musical, and fellow filmmaker Matthew Rankin also takes a key role as Daniel, Robin’s mild-mannered dad.
