  • 2010 — Boy & Submarine: Coming of Age (feat. Jordan Hayles and Emily Gagne)

    Becky and supervising producer Emily Gagne are joined by Jordan Hayles as they get emotional about 2010's Boy (directed by Taika Waititi) and Submarine (directed by Richard Ayoade). Hailing from Scarborough, Ontario, Jordan Hayles is a television and film editor who has taken pride in his attention to detail which has lead to his ascension in his career. His diverse array of work has spanned from Lifestyle, Doc-Style, Sports, and Narrative, with his work appearing on networks such as VICE, NBC, HGTV, Food Network, CBC, CTV, and with the various teams owned by Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment (MLSE). He’s also an advocate for diversity, understanding that in his position there are not many who are fairly represented across the board, and it’s his mission to give back to others, and hopefully break in more talent through the doors as his career advances.
