From the oilfields of Alberta to the director’s chair, Gillian McKercher is a filmmaker determined to stay true to her roots. Her second film, Lucky Star, follows a gambler-turned-family who is forced to return to his old ways after falling for a tax scam.
ILT sat down with Gillian at VIFF 2024 to discuss father-daughter bonds, representing Alberta on the big screen, and going all-in at the poker table.
