Hey, this is Colin French. I’m a pessimist, satirist, and an underachiever as well as a former Canadian Studies major. I’ll be doing mostly Canadian films, and if at some point one slips in here that isn’t entirely made-in-Canada, well, then that just means you’re paying attention. Its a win-win situation.
