127: Interview with Joshua Demers of Québexit

On this episode I chat with Joshua Demers, the writer and director of the new Canadian political satire Québexit. The film was originally reviewed on episode 125: Cinefest Sudbury 2020. Here Joshua discusses how important language is to the Canadian identity, getting support from his two co-writers to help craft a better story the reflects more realities of living in Canada and much more. Québexit currently is making the festival rounds and hopes to have a distribution deal in the near future so more people can watch it.

Joshua recommends the 2002 Canadian film The Bay of Love and Sorrows and the 2014 book The Morning After.
