Forced to repeat her senior year of high school, Claire's (Maslany) reputation is sliding from bad-ass to bad joke. Armed with an acid tongue and shielded by ever-present headphones, Claire locks onto the only student clueless to her sordid rep: Henry (Van Wyck), a nerdy freshman she used to babysit. At night, Claire escapes to raucous concerts where she catches the eye of 33-year–old Jim (McCarthy, frontman of The ElastoCitizens), a would–be rock star who feeds on young fans’ adoration. Jim leads her into an intoxicating world of hard- partying musicians, while at school, Claire takes Henry under her wing. She reinvents her dorky friend as the mysterious rebel, throwing Henry's life into hilarious turmoil. As Claire dances across the surface of these relationships, she eventually learns hard lessons about the difference between sex, intimacy, and friendship.

PICTURE DAY PRODUCTION NOTES

The last year of high school is an auspicious time for teenagers. It signals both the finish line of adolescence and the ‘starting blocks’ for adult life. But Claire had a false start: She didn’t graduate, and must repeat Grade 12 – a ‘victory lap’, she calls it. Her friends have moved on, she’s older than everyone else, and contrary to her own self-image, she is not wise beyond her years. Maybe this time, she’ll learn.

* * *

Picture Day is written by award-winning playwright and screenwriter, Kate Melville. The characters evolved from a play she initially wrote at age 17 (I HATE YOU ON MONDAYS, staged in 1995 at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto and 1998 in Vancouver). Eight years ago, it became the screenplay, Picture Day, about growing up and age differences (the main characters are Claire - 18, Henry -14 and Jim-33) and how just a few years can be a generation gap. “Sometimes, we look back five years and feel revulsion or compassion for our younger selves. I had to do that myself because I originally wrote this 20 years ago. This is a script about growing up that I’ve literally grown up with,” said Melville “the characters of Claire, Henry and James has been in my life for that long”.

Melville has a deep affection for stories and situations borne out of character, rather than those about people being forced into unusual circumstances. In the case of Claire, who is in equal parts endearing and annoying, her predicament of repeating Grade 12 is entirely of her own making. Claire is stuck.

HENRY So why didn’t you just take summer school? CLAIRE Because it’s school in the summer.

Suffering from an emotional short-sightedness Claire sees only as far as the next distraction. She finds just that in Henry, the shy 14 year old she encounters at the start of the year. Coming from a school for gifted children, and smothered by his doting parents, Henry's life had revolved around elaborate science fair projects and extensive (some might say obsessive) collections. Claire’s exalted role as Henry’s babysitter has been brought crashing down that they are now both at the same school. That said, they fall quickly into their familiar dynamic: Claire is still the all-knowing elder, while Henry still hangs on her every wise word. Watching Henry move invisibly through this new school, Claire sees he needs her help making an impression. This is one thing she can do, not wisely, but very well: Henry becomes her willing pet project and she revels in his unconditional devotion.

The isolation Claire experiences at school leads her to seek cohorts further afield. A die-hard music fan, she sweet talks her way passed bouncers to get into the hottest concerts in Toronto. Dancing at the front of the crowd, she catches the eye of Jim, the lead singer for the spectacular funk rock band The ElastoCitizens. Though happy to hook up with an adoring fan, Jim is thrown for a loop when he discovers Claire’s age.

Claire groans and tries to extricate herself from James’ arms. James stirs.

CLAIRE I have to go. I have to go.

They kiss.

JAMES Where do you have to go so early?

CLAIRE School.

JAMES School...like U of T?

Claire pulls on her clothes. CLAIRE I have Math.

JAMES Just Math.

CLAIRE Yep.

JAMES Math, like -

CLAIRE No, fucking Grade 12 Calculus at A. Meighen High. Second time.

“We talked in rehearsal about how each of the three characters were about a year away from pathetic,” recalled Melville. “In a year, Claire could be just a high school dropout. Henry's ‘kid self’ is not ready for high school, but if he stays stuck in the dork stage he’s at when he meets Claire, he'll be an official loser by grade 10. Jim's band is on the verge of breaking up, but he's also stuck in an old rock star way of being that isn't working for him any more - his bandmates are getting day jobs and having kids, and he's not keeping up with their changing needs and priorities. When Claire is on the road with Jim and sees that she is replaceable, that moment is a pivotal part of her coming of age - she grows up, even if Jim doesn't. Henry and Claire save each other through friendship. They're not a couple by the end, but they’ve given each other the push that the other one needs most at that moment in their lives.”

CLAIRE, ON HER OWN

Having seen Tatiana Maslany in Grown Up Movie Star, as well as several television series, Melville recognized this actress had something very special. “She made interesting choices in her acting,” Melville noted, “When she won the Sundance Award, I realized I wasn’t the only one who had noticed. She seemed like she would be a great fit for the role of Claire.” Maslany was sent the script and met with Melville in August, 2010 to discuss the role. It was, in the director’s estimation, the beginning of a real collaboration. “This is a character we have very much built up together. Tatiana’s an incredibly generous and dedicated actor.”

“We talked a lot about Claire’s youth,” recalled Melville. “The story is about this 18-year-old who is repeating her last year of high school. She’s in a relationship with a 33-year-old at the same time that she’s spending a lot of time with this kid she used to babysit. Both relationships have these power dynamic imbalances. So something Tatiana and I worked on capturing was Claire’s youth, the gleeful insolence that she has. She’s a loveable shit-disturber and her thoughtlessness is a sign of how emotionally young she is. We wanted Claire to seem authentically 18.”

“There was so much about Claire I wanted to explore,” said Maslany. “She’s tough and outgoing and obnoxious. I don’t think you see a lot of that in young girls on screen. She’s repeating that last year of high school, maybe by choice and maybe not by choice, but she’s there.” Maslany gravitated to this idea of stalling at a crucial stage in a young person’s life and resisting the decision to move forward. “She hasn’t made that bold step out of her old life and into the uncharted territory. The indecision and the waffling is very relatable for people my age. She’s tough and funny and snarky - always looking the next thing that’s going to entertain her or the next person she’s going to entertain. I see her as a person who is constantly flitting from thing to thing like a bug. She sees Henry as a person who idolizes her and is always on her side. She can use him as her comfort blanket. And Jim is a rock star who takes a liking to her. In his eyes, she believes, she’s special. Claire is lacking in the intimacy and connection in her life because she can’t sit still long enough to make a connection with somebody. Real connections are too uncomfortable and too scary.” CLAIRE & HENRY

Melville, a screenwriter before coming to directing, had been writing for “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” They needed a Grade 9 nerd to do a ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven’ scene, and Spencer Van Wyck had been cast. “I thought he was wonderful,” she said. “Degrassi liked him so much, he became a series regular.” Development had begun on Picture Day and Maslany was already attached to the project when Melville attended a cast/crew screening of that Degrassi episode and observed how “unself-conscious and present Spencer was on screen. He had a very strong physicality to his acting.” She seized the moment and approached him about playing Henry in her film.

Before coming to directing, Melville had been writing for “Degrassi: The Next Generation.” When they needed a Grade 9 nerd to do a ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven’ scene, Spencer Van Wyck was cast. “I thought he was wonderful,” she said. “Degrassi liked him so much, he became a series regular.” Melville noticed how “unself- conscious and present Spencer was on screen. He had a very strong physicality to his acting.” She seized the opportunity and approached him about playing Henry in her film.

“Of course I was going to say yes!” said Van Wyck. “Kate is the person who wrote my part on Degrassi.”

The character of Henry is the son of two highly educated parents. Ruth, his mother is played by Susan Coyne, who describes her character as well-meaning, but slightly clueless. “This film captures Henry growing up and his parents don’t quite realize what’s happening,” she said. “It’s a very funny and poignant story about that incredible moment in our lives when we have to find out who we are and not who our family tells us we are or even who our peers think we are. We have to find out for ourselves. I think this is a really true movie about that moment.”

Before heading into principal photography on the film, Melville shot two scenes (one with Claire and Henry, the other with Claire and Jim) to use as a pitch package for funding. The results assured Melville that her hunch about their chemistry was spot on. Maslany’s skill at improv (Canadian Improv Games, Anoetic Improv group) didn’t hurt. “Going out with Tatiana and Spencer, letting them play was fantastic. The power dynamic between Claire and Henry is inherently imbalanced and comic because she bosses him around and he has so little control. There’s also a sexual dynamic which she’s refuses to acknowledge and he’s consumed by it. The scenes were charged by that dynamic.”

Van Wyck, an outgoing and gregarious person, discovered that the challenge to playing Henry was to stay in his head. “Henry has an intense internal dialogue going on before he does anything so to play him, I have stay inside his head and play everything through all the time. The backstory is that Claire and Henry had grown apart since the time she babysat him, and now they are creating a whole new relationship in a different environment. Our first scenes together were improv and it was hard to stay on Tatiana’s level, but she’s amazing and brilliant and helped me add to what she was bringing. Kate also made me feel much more than just an actor. She made me feel a part of the project by asking me for my input and that meant a lot.” Melville tapped into the physicality she had seen before and they developed a “Henry walk” that reflected that slight awkwardness and inner tension that 14 year olds like Henry have.

Maslany noticed this split between Spencer, the actor and Henry, the character. “At first I didn’t realize how different he was from Henry. Spencer is loud and funny and Henry is contained, serious and continually fascinated with Claire, going back to when she used to babysit him. She sees him as her little puppy dog, and there’s this unconditional love he has for her. Essentially, he’ll do whatever she wants. The power dynamic is very uneven in that relationship and exploring that was fun because Spencer is so there and so present and so playful.”

By the end of the film, the future of the relationship between Claire and Henry is optimistic, but open for speculation. Maslany summed it up wryly when she said she thought Henry would help Claire through her first divorce.

CLAIRE & JIM

Steven McCarthy, who plays Jim, and director Melville became friends over a decade ago in , where Melville studied film at Concordia and McCarthy attended the National Theatre School for acting. They bonded over the arts and the occasional house party, and stayed in touch since then. Ironically, she had given McCarthy a copy of the original play in the late 90s. Fast-forward to the night of the “Degrassi: The Next Generation” screening at CityTV, where Melville had her epiphany about casting Spencer Van Wyck: Headed home, she crossed the street to the Horseshoe Tavern, where her old friend McCarthy was performing with his band, The ElastoCitizens. “I was standing there and had a eureka moment: Claire would be seduced by the wonderful raucous feel of The ElastoCitizens and Steve, in the role of Jim, would be an amazing partner for her,” she recalled, still wildly delighted with the decision. Admittedly, the music fan aspect of Claire’s character is autobiographical, “I think when you’re a teenager, you can love music like you love a person. You can listen to a song 50 times and you know the lyrics. As a teenager in Toronto, I went to see lots of live bands.”

“That night at the Horseshoe, Kate rejigged the characters on the spot,” McCarthy recalled. “She figured our crazy, weird, massive band might be something that Claire, with all her cynicism, could completely get behind in terms of the energy and the message and the sexy, dancing insanity of our music.”

At 33 years old, Jim is the head of a 10-piece band. “There are a lot of aging rock stars, (and) by 33 you start thinking about what the rest of your life will be like,” McCarthy explained, “Claire is more than a fan and more than a groupie. There’s something about the hardness in her he finds intriguing and that she loves his band, his music and is thrilled by him is something he desperately needs.” Although he’s quite firm on the point that James is not autobiographical, The ElastoCitizens have been a real band for over 7 years, and all of the characters in the movie version of the group are the actual band members.

“The character of Jim doesn't have a redemptive moment,” said Melville. “He feeds on unquestioning adoration and when once it runs out, he moves on. As he gets older, his sources for this kind of attention get progressively younger. When it came to casting this, it helped that I had known Steve for 15 years because as an actor, he wasn’t afraid to get behind that idea. I knew he could play the delicate balance of being genuinely interested in Claire and at the same time, serving his own interests.”

Maslany figures that for Claire, Jim was supposed to be a one night stand. Showing up unexpectedly at her school signals that this rock star likes her and that’s enough to get her attention. “The world of rock star living that Jim offers is enticing. She falls into it because it’s so much more exciting that her life and allows her to totally check out of her life. She admires him and (she thinks) he admires her. And yet, there’s a resistance to really give herself to this guy because she doesn’t trust him fully.”

“Tatiana is a dream, a rare combination of groundedness and self-confidence,” affirmed McCarthy. In turn, Maslany adored working with McCarthy and found he kept her on her toes because, as both a musician and an actor, he understood the connection between rhythm, dance and play between actors. LEWIS, The Bingo Hall Guy

Stand-up comic Mark DeBonis makes his acting debut in Picture Day as Lewis, a recent high school graduate now working as an assistant manager at a bingo hall. “I was excited to work with a comedian and Tatiana was too,” says Melville, “When I saw Mark’s stand-up, I knew I had found a great foil for Claire, and a wonderful contrast with both Henry and James.” DeBonis admits his character may also be a bit stuck: “Lewis doesn’t really know what he wants to do with his life but he’s too proud to admit it, so he struts around the Bingo Hall like he owns the place.” Melville wanted her cast to be “funny on their own terms”, an approach that worked well for DeBonis, a seasoned stand-up performer working on a movie set for the first time. “It was completely different than stand up. I think the hardest thing I had to realize was every line did not have to end in a joke, that awkward pauses in movies can be your friend. Kate as a director knew what she wanted from a scene, and I was allowed to be open with my lines, but I could also stick to the script for safety. Going in, I wasn’t sure who I would turn into while the camera was rolling, so I decided that I was just going to be myself and have fun.”

Creating the Look of Picture Day

Picture Day is a story told at close range and that made it of paramount importance to Melville that the film have authenticity in the acting, the dialogue and the look. To that end, she worked with Celiana Cárdenas as her cinematographer. “Working with Celi was an unbelievable privilege,” she said. “99% of the shots in the film are hand-held and Celi has a dancer’s intuition so she could move with the actors. It also meant she could get in close so you feel more connected to the characters. It was an intimate camera that I wanted and that is what she gave me. In turn, I gave her real environments and locations in Toronto. Nothing was manufactured or duplicated in studio. The slightly shaky edge to the hand-held frame gives the scenes a vitality that a fixed camera wouldn’t have.”

Working with two DSLR cameras, using concert footage and documentary footage, and recreating home movies blurred line between documentary and fiction. Cárdenas explained her strategy, “We needed to move fast and the format we worked with gave us the freedom to allow the actors to move and improvise. Because a significant amount of the film takes place in the streets, we wanted to be as compact as we could possibly be so we didn’t attract too much attention. That also allowed us to be as close as we could, giving the film intimacy.”

The challenge for Cárdenas was working with two cameras at the same time, but because it was a small, compact crew and they had to move fast, she looked “for the pillar of the story” in each scene and that’s where she concentrated her efforts.

Shot on location – 24 in 17 days - Picture Day takes place in and around where Melville grew up. This hometown advantage informed the production experience and acted as a backdrop for the story. “A distinguishing fact about growing up in downtown Toronto is you don't drive, you walk. Those back alleys are a big part of teenage life. The greenery in Toronto was something else I wanted to capture - green space as private space. Plus, shooting in October meant leaves changing colour- it was free amazing production design - so we tried to use it as much as possible”

Henry’s house on Palmerston Avenue tells a story about the kind of family he's a part of - the books, the fine art collection, and the garden. Production mananger Brian Garvey made Claire’s home sparse, with little colour, in direct contrast to the comfort to where Henry comes from. Melville felt the stairs leading up to the apartment were “a great in-between stuck visual metaphor.” The school is actually two Board of Education buildings - The Bickford Centre at Christie and Bloor and Don Mills Collegiate at Don Mills and Eglinton. “We wanted a school that looked like a prison, so I was particularly excited about the courtyard, and how crumbling and falling apart the building was. I wanted a downtown city school, one where kids eat on Bloor St. for lunch and not in the cafeteria, one where you'd skip school and go to a walnut cake store and not a 7-11,” said Melville.

Because the ElastoCitizens regularly play at both The Horseshoe Tavern and Lee’s Palace, both venues were opened to the production. Both the Horseshoe and the Lee’s Palace stages were shot as was the dressing room at Theatre for Human Health because the mural was too good for Melville to pass up. The Tranzac Club on Brunswick Ave., founded in the 1930s, stood in for the rural bar but they had to shoot around the cyclists riding passed the window as that would have been a Toronto give-away.

The Music of Picture Day

Picture Day's eclectic soundtrack sets the tone and underscores Claire’s desire to be around music whenever possible. Movie-goers are treated to live sets from two Toronto treasures, funk favourites the ElastoCitizens (who perform a gospel version of Tom Waits' "Dirt In The Ground") and hip hop's wisest man Humble the Poet, as well as recorded tracks from Ashley Park, Buke and Gase, Dressy Bessy, The Dodos, The Carnaby and more.

Our whole presentation – numerous vocalists, a kind of modern punk-funk music, and throwback girl-group dancing -- has cutting-edge projections and sound. The result is this spirited dance-ability that gets people moving.” The ElastoCitizens’ performances in festivals and concerts (LuminaTO, NxNE, Harbourfront Centre, Dundas Square indie Fridays) and their recordings (heard on CBC Radio, HBO and Showcase) have earned them a growing fan base. The Elastos are creating their own genre, featuring go-go dancing, multiple singers, grinding guitars, funk-feedback bass lines and a heavy horn section, attracting audiences and critical acclaim along the way.
