I worked for years in the documentary world. I can tell you that documentary filmmakers, by nature, are never satisfied. That is the way they are. There are always problems in the world and society is always facing challenges. But there are specific challenges in terms of funding for feature-length documentaries. We currently have a pilot project with Telefilm Canada and the CBC. There is no way to truly ensure long-term funding. Another problem is how to create a funding model for documentaries created on new platforms? This involves other ways of doing things. That does not currently exist. So there are problems related to that as well.
