Toronto-born filmmaker Emma Seligman was “honoured” her coming-of-age comedy “Shiva Baby” had its world premiere at home at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2020.

Ahead of the movie’s wide release in Canada on Friday, March 26, we’re taking a look back at ET Canada’s Graeme O’Neil’s chat with the female director about her directorial debut and some of the film’s cast during TIFF.

Seligman, who also wrote the screenplay, said she was happy she finished her first feature film. She opened up about how she could relate to the LGBTQ+-friendly subject matter, being queer and Jewish, saying she felt “connected to this storyline and wanted to show just how terrible it can be being queer and how you’re treated sometimes.” RELATED
