Wiki.
A Simple Curve is a Canadian drama film, directed by Aubrey Nealon and released in 2005.The film stars Kris Lemche as Caleb, a man in his mid-20s who works as a junior partner in his father Jim's (Michael Hogan) woodworking shop in the rural Slocan Valley of British Columbia. Dissatisfied with his life and aspiring to revive the failing business, he is forced to confront his father's anti-establishment values when Matthew (Matt Craven), an old friend of Jim's who has gone on to become a successful real estate developer in Vancouver, approaches them with a contract to build chairs for a new resort development in the region. The film's cast also includes Pascale Hutton, Sarah Lind, Kett Turton, Ben Cotton and Waneta Storms.
Nealon described the film as partially inspired by his own upbringing as the child of American hippie parents who had moved to Canada as Vietnam War objectors, but stressed that the film was not a literal autobiography.The film premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival in the Canada First program, and was subsequently screened as the opening film of the Canadian Images program at the 2005 Vancouver International Film Festival.
