Production

Never Eat Alone is an unorthodox documentary-fiction hybrid. Joan Benac, the grandmother character, is played by Joan Benac, Bohdanowicz's grandmother. Don Radovich, the ex-boyfriend character, is played by George Radovics, the film's producer and Bohdanowicz's partner Calvin Thomas' grandfather.[3]

Deragh Campbell plays Audrey Benac, a character she has inhabited twice since for Bohdanowicz in the films Veslemøy's Song (2018) and MS Slavic 7 (2019).[4] She received a Vancouver Film Critics Circle award nomination for Best Actress in a Canadian Film for her performance.[5]
