Generally Canadian films are smaller. I think the market here is a tenth of the size of the States. So there's less resources to put into the films.

I know for me, specifically, L.A. is just an overwhelming and scary place. I like spending part of my year there, but I love having Canada as my home to come back to.

By far, the content of Canadian films. You're able to push the envelope in ways you can't in the U.S., I find. But also, because of the budgets and everything, it's all condensed, quick, and short.

A lot of films in Canada are subsidized by the government, and compared to a studio, the government really stays out of your face creatively.

For me, selfishly, Toronto is my favorite city in the world. It's the greatest city and you have the whole world here.
