Breaking Baz: Filmmaking Newcomer Jacob Stefiuk Hopes To Follow In Footsteps Of Telluride Alum Barry Jenkins
Young filmmaker Jacob Stefiuk is following the path of Telluride Film Festival alum Barry Jenkins, who launched Best Picture Oscar winner 'Moonlight' at fest.
EXCLUSIVE: Jacob Stefiuk from Montreal was part of the 2023 Telluride Film Festival student symposium intake — where Moonlight ’s Barry Jenkins sharpened his filmmaking chops 20 years ago — and the experience has been life-changing. Ingunn Omholt, the actor cast to play the mother figure Elaine, originally is from Norway and had lived in Montreal for several years before settling in Toronto. It’s a long way off, but I hope Stefiuk gets to premiere it at Telluride — just as Barry Jenkins was able to launch his eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Moonlight there back in 2016.
