How does this production embrace sustainability?:	The film is about how the territory is experienced by its protagonist Debby Friday, a Nigerian Canadian singer and musician. The film through flashbacks is her coming-of-age story and shows the coexistence in Friday's character and person of a belonging to contemporary Western society and a belonging to African territory and an older tradition. This duality flows into Friday's strong and sometimes surreal visual and aural imagery that the film attempts to translate and show. Good Luck tells a vision of the condition of the diaspora.
Synopsis:	GOOD LUCK is a surrealist short film that tells the story of a young woman navigating the whirlwind that is adolescence. Dreamlike sequences of young love, afterschool house parties, and midnight woodland rites come together in this pseudo-autobiographical tale.
