We love talking about Canadian films so much we teamed up with Thom Ernst to create a podcast where we invite Canadian filmmakers to talk about their artistic influences past and present. Season 1 featured filmmakers like Jeff Barnaby, Audrey Cummings and Matt Johnson. Season 2 will launch on February 1 with new episodes landing weekly.
