　　This new drama-documentary series draws on interviews with writers, actors, and biographers to explore how a young woman from a small village living in eighteenth-century England, became our best-loved novelist, creating characters and stories that have become part of our culture ever since.

A cultural snapshot of turn-of-the-millennium Toronto with subtle comic energy and a great cast, Sook-Yin Lee’s adaptation of Chester Brown’s autobiographical 2011 graphic novel is a movie only Lee could make… because it’s her story, too.

“Everything’s Going to be Great” is a funny and sad valentine to big dreamers whose dreams won’t necessarily come true. It’s about individuality vs conformity. It’s about fantasy vs reality. But mostly it’s about family, as it follows a year in the life of a family struggling with defining success, ghosts, identity, and regional theatre. Lester Smart has always felt his life was headed in one direction....the theater. And he will sing and dance whatever number he needs to do to be center stage.
