Senior Year Dir Thomas Bullen, 2021, YT, 25 MIN

Senior Year is a visual album (aka a long-form music video), consisting of music by the Yukon band, Soda Pony. The six songs of the album, which embody the iconic musical style of garage rock duo Aiden Tentrees and Patrick Hamilton, guide a visual narrative which explores the many trials and tribulations of young adulthood. Youthful naiveté, awkward first dates, lessons gained and love lost, are all on the menu in this tragically humorous coming-of-age tale; with a generous side of fries. This semi-autobiographical film takes place in Canada’s beautiful Yukon Territory, and features staples of Yukon life that add layers of relatability to those who grew up in the North. Whitehorse actors Daniel Little and Julie Laliberté star as the (almost) high school sweethearts in a narrative that roams wildly between hopeful, awkward, intense, and utterly unrequited. The film, produced by Yukon filmmakers Thomas and Gabriel Bullen, was made on a shoestring budget over the course of two years, and its production benefited from the generous contributions of the many Yukoners who donated their time, vehicles, props, and locations to the project. In many ways, Senior Year is truly a film that is of, by, and for the Yukon.
