« My space as a Métis woman is complex, and that's what I love about it. So Ste. Anne came out of wondering how that could be expressed in film. We had a super-small budget, funded by arts councils. There was no hierarchy; everyone got paid the same. The constraints of our abilities became our innovations. There were five cinematographers, which reflected the matriarchal umbrella of our set. The camera was a communal space. The actors are my friends and family. Our mantra was, 'Keep It Chill.' Anyone can show up on set and put in their 12 hours, but everyone who touched my film put their love into it. How you quantify that, I don't know. »
