Back in 2005, Hubert Davis became the very first Black Canadian to be nominated for an Academy Award. It was for his personal, moving documentary, Hardwood, which tells the story of his relationship with his father, Mel Davis, a former Harlem Globetrotter. Now, more than 20 years into his documentary filmmaking career, Hubert is making his first foray into narrative storytelling with his fictional feature debut, The Well. It’s an eco-thriller that follows a family who are living in isolation and hiding a “secret supply of fresh water.” Their safety and relationships become tested when a wounded man arrives unexpectedly and discovers their resource. Hubert tells guest host Garvia Bailey why he wanted to tell this story. Plus, he reflects on two decades in Canada’s film industry.
