A window into the life of a young queer artist, providing an honest conversation about the connected struggles of creative block and mental health.
My Brother, The Artist, a participatory documentary that opens a window into the life of Devyn Scrimgeour - a young queer artist trying to find his place in the world. This film will explore what it is like to be an artist who’s apart of the LGBTQ2s+ community overcoming obstacles like creative block, imposter syndrome, and other struggles many of us face today.

My Brother, The Artist is quickly approaching completion, and hopes to pursue a small but mighty festival run within Canada.

Meet Devyn

An artist, a creative, and respected by peers in all walks of life, Devyn is just like any other college student.

Focusing on character and atmospheric design, Devyn has a passion for displaying the world around him through his own eyes, and hopes to share that with an ever-growing following of fellow artists. Stressed with the pressure of going into post-secondary to pursue art as a profession, he worries he will lose a passion for what he truly loves.
