Issue 26 • Summer / Autumn 2021

Jack The Lad once again dares to be different, and we’re not just talking about the new cover design. We go behind the scenes of new Canadian gay drama series I Am Syd Stone for our biggest feature yet, introducing Denis Theriault, (Writer/director) Gharrett Patrick Paon (producer) and series star Travis Nelson who talk exclusively about the difficulties they faced being their authentic selves in an industry still unable to acknowledge the diversity of talent that works within it, as explored in the first season of this unmissable series. Austrian born photographer Michael Andre takes to the streets of Brooklyn, London photographer Simon J. Webb is seeing double, and our artist spotlight lands on the work of Scottish born artist David Farquhar, plus our regular movie reviews from Roo.
