I think it's really important that Telefilm supports emerging Canadian filmmakers, especially in English Canada. If you look at the climate right now internationally, Canadians make films.
Québécois filmmakers are the ones making films, making waves internationally with their films. I would arguably say that they are given the opportunity to really hone a distinct voice in Quebec, using specifically Quebec actors, and specifically Quebec talent behind the camera as well. They are given a forum to hone that voice, which they can then later export.
Look at Xavier Dolan and his big success with Mommy, and Antoine Pilon who starred in that film. He is this young, beautiful Québécois actor, who might not have been given the opportunity if that were an English-language film, because they might have asked a bigger named American actor to star in that role.
I think we need to look at that system to see what's working and apply it to English Canada and English Canadian feature films, if we want to make films that have a distinct voice.
