IN CONVERSATION WITH
Avan Jogia 06
E
arlier this year, Avan Jogia made his feature writing and directorial debut with Door Mouse, a contemporary neo-noir thriller and “love letter to
Vancouver” that the multifaceted creative and storyteller started concocting when he was in his early twenties. Thrust into the limelight at a young age, the Canadian actor, director, and writer has been breaking the mold and reinventing himself on his own terms since leaving child stardom behind. Now 31, he makes it a point to have much more control over his work and be judicious about the projects he does. To mark this milestone achievement for the genuine versatile artist, he was joined by his former Nickelodeon castmate, Liz Gillies, who has remained a faithful supporter and dear friend, for a heart-to-heart conversation. While reviving fond memories of their longtime friendship and taking us behind the scenes of Door Mouse, the pair discussed Hollywood oddities and the surprising rewards of directing. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
