Television has its opportunities. It allows you more hours; there's more demand, and it keeps you working. If you can do something innovating and fresh, it can be very rewarding.
In Canada, we have a very good structure of supporting film through a number of government-sponsored initiatives, such as the tax credit and other grants. The northern part of Ontario has started its own funding. They were really happy to sponsor us, so they've been very supportive and put up half the budget for this film. They'd like us to come back and do more films.
To be able to make a living, I went into television. Not necessarily planned from the beginning, since I was more familiar with features, and had developed a few scripts.
