Wissenswertes

Lucky Star is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Gillian McKercher and released in 2024. The film stars Terry Chen as Lucky, a Chinese Canadian dad raising his family in suburban Calgary, Alberta, who gets drawn into gambling as he attempts to recover money he lost after being scammed.

Production

According to McKercher, the film was inspired in part by an unconfirmed family legend that her great-grandfather had been a wealthy landlord who owned an entire block of his city's Chinatown, but gambled it away in a card game.

She began writing the film in 2019 and completed the script while studying at the Canadian Film Centre, although it ultimately entered production through her own Kino Sum film studio rather than as her CFC student project.
