Corey Payette’s Starwalker to Begin Theatrical Run in Vancouver

Posted on by

starwalkerCorey Payette’s musical drama Starwalker is heading to theaters, starting with a run in Vancouver next month.

The film will screen March 18 to 22 at The Cultch’s Vancity Culture Lab, with each showing followed by a Q and A featuring cast members and creatives. Additional cities and dates are expected to be announced.

Written, directed, and composed by Payette, Starwalker follows Star, an Indigi-Queer Two-Spirit sex worker who finds community and purpose after being introduced to a drag house known as The House of Borealis. As Star develops a drag persona that reconnects them with their cultural identity, past trauma begins to resurface, complicating that sense of belonging.

The film stars Dillan Chiblow, Jeffrey Follis, and Stewart Adam McKensy, along with a cast drawn largely from stage backgrounds. Starwalker previously premiered at the Inside Out Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival and has continued its festival run internationally.

The Vancouver screenings mark the start of the film’s broader theatrical rollout.
