​DINNER WITH FRIENDS​


​Dinner with Friends is a ensemble dramedy about a group of long time friends trying to keep in touch while their lives shift in a changing world. It premiered at TIFF50 in September 2025, and was quickly noted as one of the buzziest films of the festival, selling out all of its screenings in less than ten minutes. It's received rave reviews for its stellar cast of Canadian talent, the confident direction of Sasha Leigh Henry, and the writing by Tania Thompson & Sasha Leigh Henry. 

SINKING SHIP

The short film Sinking Ship is a hyper-stylized look at a changing relationship between a man and a woman hitting their early forties. While out for drinks, a couple find themselves in an intellectual discussion of how they feel about each other. Their clinical honesty is contrasted by the restaurant’s massive mural of open waters behind them that conveys the emotional truth of the state of their relationship. The ship is sinking, and it’s every person for themselves.

"Using the man’s misguided views as a jumping off point, Henry creates a comical look at the fragile nature of the male ego. By deconstructing the traditional notion of gender roles in relationships, the film works as both a celebration of female empowerment and a scathing commentary on the boxes men often attempt to place women in. Henry manages to get a lot out of minimal setting, one is literally watching two people have a conversation for 13 minutes, through sharp dialogue and sly use of visual effects. Asking the viewer to be a fly on an increasingly uncomfortable wall, Sinking Ship is a delightfully cringe-worthy experience." - Courtney Small for Cinema Axis

TEAM

 We’re Sasha and Tania. We often pitch our partnership as a Venn diagram of feminism, humour, and hustle because it can be hard to see where an older white mother and a single Black millennial woman might overlap. But this is our superpower. We are from different generations and backgrounds. Our lived experiences are not the same but we share core values. We believe there is always more than one way to tell a story and this is what our partnership brings to our projects.  Usually this is the part where we would talk about experience and inspiration but yadda yadda yadda, Susan Sontag, somethin’ somethin’ somethin’, Toni Morrison. All that to say, we tell stories, across all mediums, and they're usually pretty good.
