Finn Wolfhard to take part in free-to-watch talk with Jay Baruchel at Fantasia 2020 this weekend

His new short Night Shifts premiered at the festival this week.

Actor and musician Finn Wolfhard burst onto the world stage in the culture-shifting Netflix series Stranger Things. With subsequent performances in the It films, The Goldfinch, The Turning, and The Addams Family, among others, and forthcoming roles in Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Guillermo del Toro and Mark Gustafson’s recently announced Pinocchio, Wolfhard has solidified his standing as a major international talent.

Now, at the age of 17, he’s completed his debut as a writer/director, the clever character-driven comedy short Night Shifts, premiering in the Fantasia lineup this year. To celebrate the launch of his move into storytelling, Fantasia will be presenting a live virtual artist talk with Finn Wolfhard, in conversation with none other than Jay Baruchel, on Saturday, August 29 at 2 PM EDT, free of charge and accessible worldwide.
