We discuss our three-year saga making a documentary film about Ben Lachapelle and his mom, Julie Chou. This is probably our best film and people who have seen it have really enjoyed it.

Ania is a seasoned producer but still full of incredible enthusiasm for discovering new stories seldom heard by a mainstream audience. Patrick had just begun his producing career, although he has been making films for years. We discuss Ania and her team's latest project, Hotel Beyrouth, which we will be hearing more about in the next few months as post-production nears completion.

Welcome to LNBLF! In today's episode, we explore the career of Canadian director and animator Joyce Borenstein. Joyce is a charming, outgoing introvert. She began in independent animation in the 1970s, later joining the National Film Board of Canada in the 1980s. Her notable work includes the Oscar-nominated short documentary "The Colours of My Father: A Portrait of Sam Borenstein" (1992). Her films express her dedication to being a true and uncompromising fine artist while still making films with stories that are beautiful to hear and see.

"I asked myself what I wanted from my life," Paul said more than once. "I wanted a life that felt interesting and passionate. A life that did not feel like a replica of others. By that measure, I believe I've succeeded." (From Paul's obituary)

Our interview with Paul Carvalho came late in his filmmaking life, and it turns out it was late in his life in general. It was an honour to hear about his career, his stories, and some of the special projects he has worked on, some of the great advice he has to give.

It's a reminder to all filmmakers that this isn't just film, this is life. It's short, and before we move on we must live joyfully and passionately.

This month on the Podcast, we talk to DOP Cinematographer Dan Dumouchel in Vancouver, British Colombia. Part-way through, the conversation takes a bit of a twist, and Dan gets very real and personal with us, so be warned. I think you’ll find his filmmaking journey unique, and there’s lots to learn about life and making movies. So listen up, and lets not be lazy filmmakers.
