Never Steady, Never Still is a Canadian drama film, which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[1]
The full-length directorial debut of Kathleen Hepburn, the film is a family drama which stars Shirley Henderson as Judy, a woman struggling with the advancing symptoms of Parkinson's disease while her son Jamie (Théodore Pellerin) is struggling to come to terms with his identity.[2]
The film is an expansion of Hepburn's earlier short film of the same title, which starred Tina Hedman as Judy and Dylan Playfair as Jamie and is partially based on Hepburn's own experiences with her mother's Parkinson's.[2] Hepburn also wrote the screenplay for the film.[1]
