Cinnamon Tea
The idea of 'Cinnamon Tea' has emerged from the observation of the monotonous life of the first generation migrations in Canada, who work in the day-to-day jobs, restaurants, factories, and service industries. The generation, which lives in between the memories of their homeland and the uncertainties of the future at new Country.
'Cinnamon Tea' Script was developed under the mentorship program of The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT), an artist-run charitable organization, and shot entirely on real locations.
