Guidance is a Canadian dark comedy film, which premiered at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival on September 5, 2014 as part of the Discovery program.

The full-length directorial debut of Pat Mills, the film stars Mills as David Gold, a down on his luck former child star who fabricates his credentials to take a job as a high school guidance counsellor. An unrecovered alcoholic and drug addict troubled by his faded success and in deep denial about both his closeted gay sexuality and his health following a skin cancer diagnosis, he becomes unexpectedly popular with the students after his habit of introducing them to his own deeply unhealthy coping mechanisms actually helps many of them solve their own problems.

The film's cast also includes Kevin Hanchard, Alex Ozerov, Jen Goodhue, Maria Vacratsis, Eleanor Zichy and Allison Hossack. It has been picked up by Strand Releasing for distribution in the United States.

C'est le moment de la Gay Pride à São Paulo, ce qui signifie soleil, sexe et beaucoup d'extravagance ! Mais quand un groupe de gays non assumés se retrouvent confrontés avec la violence homophobe, plutôt que de se faire discrets, tous décident de faire un pacte solennel : ils ont un an pour s'assumer et faire leur coming-out. "Boys in Brasil" est la parfaite illustration de ce qu'on gagne à s'assumer et à demander respect et acceptation.
