I'm thinking about a few weeks in Montreal to work with a producer I met there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
My home is Montreal. I will stay in Montreal and continue to make movies in Montreal. But it's also very healthy for Canadian filmmakers to work outside the country. You learn so much.
My father was an actor, and we have the most important theatre company in Montreal.
When I started out, at the CBC in Toronto, there was so little work. It was a different world from what it is now. Now we're blessed with so much production in so many Canadian cities.
My plan was to stay in Canada to make films.
My life was in Montreal years ago. Best food in the world.
I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.
I grew up in a town called Cornwall, Ontario, which is about an hour outside of Montreal.
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Even up here on Vancouver on the weekends, I go work out in a studio space.
