[on his film
The First Winter (2013)] I wanted to make a film about Winnipeg. So much of the art that comes out of Winnipeg is very abstract, and Winnipeg as a city is pretty edgy; it's a scary place. I felt that there was a buffer between what Winnipeg was really like and what a lot of the art was like. So I decided with this film to kind of remove that buffer as an experiment, and see what kind of results we would come up with.
