CHILDSTAR
Childstar begins as US sitcom star Taylor Brandon Burns arrives in Toronto to play the role of the Presidents son in a television series to be shot in Canada. Accompanied by his savvy divorced mother and business manager, they are picked up at the airport by experimental filmmaker Rick Schiller, so naïve at his job that he holds up a sign with the young stars name. Through circumstances well under his control, Rick ends up bedding Mom, becoming Taylors legal guardian and teacher, and taking on far more responsibility that the usual limo driver. Many Toronto in-jokes ensue, as Childstar charts two awakenings, those of both Taylor and Rick, while delighting in the traditional pleasures provided by a film about filmmaking. (Mark Peranson)
