Summer Love

DIRECTOR / PRODUCER / DOP


An award winning documentary filmmaker, director and the creator of Deltatime Productions, Summer first gained a foothold in film as a documentary researcher and producer. Her unconventional style helped secure her place as Canada’s “it” girl for fresh, edgy pop culture as she went on to produce several short documentaries showcasing up-and-coming Canadian fashion designers and musicians – a series that was broadcast internationally on the German public television's WDR.


Seven years in the making, Summer’s first feature documentary, Sounds Like a Revolution, marries her commitment to social justice and passion for music and politics. Launched theatrically to critical acclaim during the G-20 Summit in Toronto, Canada, Sounds Like a Revolution received extensive media coverage (MTV, Entertainment Tonight, Globe and Mail, National Post, CBC, etc) and has gone on to become a festival favourite - winning BEST DOCMENTARY at Raindance, MOST INSPIRING FILM at the Orlando Film Festival and BEST SOUNDTRACK & SCORE at Duke Doc City, among others.


Summer is currently working on her next feature documentary about the controversial life and legacy of Johnny “Guitar” Watson: The Player, Preacher and Pimp.
