“We scouted by Lumens. Not by geography.” I love this. Such an amazing and beautiful film. Was one of the films that made me want to be a filmmaker.

This wS the breakthrough with my grandson as I lent him a copy for pronunciation for his French oral exam. His friends couldn't get over it and to this day I'm still the cool nan (grandmother). FECKIN great interview. Love your honestly and wish the politicians would pay attention. When I heard about Screen Rebels, I thought they were talking about you Mathieu!! Will always be one of my favourite films. Love the technical details you shared. Every time I'm on set (extra in GOT, Vikings, et al) I watch the crew. Always learning. Go raibh mile maith agat. Merci.
