I am Syd Stone, produced and co-written by Gharrett Patrick Paon (NSI Features First), has been acquired for distribution by levelFILM.

The six-part digital series, directed and co-written by Denis Theriault, follows a Hollywood actor as he enters into a secret affair with another man. The series, which was originally a short film, was nominated for the 2014 Iris Prize.

The film received funding from Telefilm’s Talent to Watch program and premiered at Inside Out LGBT Film Festival earlier this month.
