Deragh Campbell

Trapped in dizzying close-ups, Deragh Campbell’s transfixing (and mostly improvised!) performance as a volatile antihero grounds this complex character study. With an empathetic perspective on mental health, Anne at 13,000 Ft confirms Kazik Radwanski as one of Canada’s most singular new auteurs.

Filmed on a bygone video camera, Stinking Heaven immerses you in the darkest crevices of the 1990s: a rehab commune housing a coven of colorful yet caustic personalities. A lucid vision of Sartre’s assertion that “hell is other people,” written with an utmost sincere sense of anarchy. Oddly sublime.
