Directed by Aaron James, GUITAR LESSONS tells the story of Ray (Corb Lund), a gruff oilfield contractor who once was a relatively famous rock star. Living alone and keeping people at an emotional distance, Ray’s life is turned upside down when he meets Leland (Kaden Noskiye), a 15-year-old Metis boy. Realizing Ray’s past, Leland approaches Ray and asks for guitar lessons. Initially, Ray refuses but this young man’s journey continues to cross his path until, finally, he agrees. As the lessons begin, the two learn what it means to grow up… together. In this 1on1, we speak to James about sharing stories from him, working with Lund and the trouble with male relationships.
