British Columbian actor and musician Finn Wolfhard burst onto the world stage in the culture-shifting Netflix series Stranger Things with subsequent performances in the IT films, The Goldfinch, The Turning, and The Addams Family, among others, and forthcoming roles in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson’s recently announced Pinocchio, Wolfhard has solidified his standing as a major international talent.

Now, at the age of 17, he’s completed his debut as a writer/director, the clever character-driven comedy short Night Shifts, premiering in the lineup this year. To celebrate the launch of his move into storytelling, Fantasia will present a live virtual artist talk with Finn Wolfhard, in conversation with none other than Jay Baruchel, on Saturday, August 29 at 2 PM EDT, free of charge and accessible worldwide.

This event will be held exclusively on Fantasia’s YouTube channel
