Interesting facts

Blood Lines is a 2025 Canadian romantic drama film, directed by Gail Maurice. The film stars Dana Solomon as Beatrice, a Métis storyteller and store clerk whose life is upended when she is encouraged to reconcile with her estranged mother Leonore (Maurice) after many years of no contact, at the same time as being drawn into a romance with Chani, a woman who arrives in their community looking for her biological family, leading to a shocking discovery.

Production

Maurice first sought to make the film about 20 years before it finally entered production, but faced problems attracting funding because of the film's LGBTQ content. Her initial plan was to play Beatrice herself, although she ultimately played Leonore because the production delays meant that she could no longer play a young woman.

She described the film as having been inspired by her own fear that she might inadvertently start sleeping with or dating an unknown relative during her youth bar-hopping years.
