It survived because of the culture of Quebec in a way. And I started a documentary that I never finished, but maybe one day I'll finish it about these last video stores, because I believe they were probably some of the last video stores in the world, or at least in North America. And they survived because they were in regional areas.

And in Quebec, it took a long time before like Netflix really introduced French content, or those streaming services did that. And there's also regions that internet is actually really expensive. And It is the way that people get together is going to the video store and watching movies together.

So for a long time in those regions, it was I mean, I think the stores closed like one or two years ago now, the last one, really, but they were still functioning.

All the time. I always had like a box of VHSs at my house and some mornings before school I would start a movie and then I'd come back after school and I'd finish the movie because I wouldn't have time in the morning to watch the whole thing. And like my dad would bring us to the movies several times a week when we were kids. And we're watching American movies mostly.

Like I grew up watching American films. even more than French Canadian films. And it's when I started going to school in film production, that's where I really got into more international filmmaking.

Well, the first film that made me realize what filmmaking could be, I think, was City of God by Fernando Meirelles. That movie, it blew my mind. I loved American films growing up and was watching things like Little Shop of Horrors and all those things. But when I saw City of God, I was like, okay. This is like you can create something on a whole other level. And that really fascinated me.
