Grace Glowicki is gearing up for a double debut at the Toronto International Film Festival. The actress, best known for her role in the horror-comedy “Dead Lover,” is not only set for the Canadian premiere of the film alongside her husband, Ben Petrie, but she’s also eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child around the same time.
As she prepares for the festival, including screenings of “Dead Lover” and the gothic horror “Honey Bunch,” Glowicki reflects on the intertwining of her personal and professional life. The couple’s relationship is a key theme in both films, highlighting the complexities of love and work dynamics.
In “Dead Lover,” a Victorian-era tale of love and loss, Glowicki plays a gravedigger entangled in a macabre romance with Petrie’s character. The film delves into themes of attachment and the need for freedom in relationships, drawing from Glowicki’s own experiences.
Despite the challenges of balancing work and personal life, Glowicki and Petrie have found a harmonious partnership in both realms. Their collaborative spirit extends beyond the screen, with the couple supporting each other’s individual projects while nurturing their joint creative endeavors.
Looking ahead, Glowicki and Petrie are excited about future collaborations, with plans to continue working together in various capacities. However, their immediate focus is on the imminent arrival of their baby, adding a new dimension to their shared journey as artists and partners.
While a dramatic water-breaking moment at the film festival may not be on the agenda, Glowicki promises an immersive experience for audiences with scented cards to enhance the olfactory aspects of “Dead Lover.”
