"This is a courageous and scary film.
It has a profound sense of paradox. There's a clarity to it
which is valuable for filmmakers and others who spend a lot
of time away from home... It's a very intense experience for
me because I felt much the same as your father."
~ Colin Low
NFB Producer, Director & Film Innovator
"Great nourishment for serious film scholars and, of course,
aspiring filmmakers."
~ Bob Verral

The Idealist - James Beveridge, Film Guru
A POV documentary exploring the life and work of James
Beveridge, an idealist who never let go of his dreams. As
a co-founder of the National Film Board of Canada, Beveridge
was a disciple of John Grierson - making films with a political
purpose to provoke social change. He was an inspirational
mentor to many, but often ignored and abandoned his family.
His daughter Nina retraces the steps of his complex career,
wondering if it was worth the collateral damage.
