Andrew Martin makes film debut at star-studded TIFF

The Toronto International Film Festival is on in Toronto. TIFF is one of the biggest film festivals in the world.

Movie stars like Johhny Depp, Steve Martin, Penelope Cruz and Sterlin Harjo will all be making appearances. Andrew Martin will also be making his TIFF debut.  

He is a Mohawk actor from Six Nations in Ontario. And it is his first feature film.

In Fire Song, Martin portrays Shane, a gay Anishinaabe teenager in Northern Ontario. He struggles to support his family in the aftermath of his sister's suicide. But what he really wants to do is move away to the big city.
