EXCLUSIVE: Montreal-based h264 has boarded world sales and Canadian distribution rights to Metafilms’ drama Lay Me By The Shore starring newcomers Harris Lowe and Violet Dolejsi in the leads alongside British veteran Sean Harris.
Writer-director David Findlay is currently shooting in Vancouver and surrounding areas through September 5. h264 will be sharing details of the film with buyers attending TIFF.
Lay Me By The Shore is described as an expansion of Findlay’s short of the same name that premiered in Berlin Generation 14plus in 2022 and went on to screen later that year at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Sylvain Corbeil, whose credits include Universal Language and The Nature Of Love, serves as producer alongside Nicole Powell, Nathan Drillot, Findlay, and associate producer Aline Mayerhoffer.
