Yeah, I Was Born In Montreal And I Go Back To Vancouver And Toronto A Lot, So I Have A Sense Of Being Canadian, And I Was Raised By Two Canadians, And My Wife Is Canadian, So Yeah, I Feel It.

There Are Only So Many Movies You Can Direct. And Yet There Are Movies That I Want To Make Sure Make It To The Screen In As Honest A Way As Possible.
