As you might have guess from this past month of episodes, our conversation with Michael Davison was really far wandering, but we bring you one last episode, back on topic, with a combo episode in which we discuss Michael's double feature, and what movies he feels he inherited, and will pass on to his young sons.

The Mikes continue our chat with Michael Davison, this time on the current state of the film industry, both in general and specifically the Canadian industry. We recorded this back in the winter and so much has even changed since then, but what we're talking about still holds true. Get ready for some inside baseball!

The Mikes become a trio this episode as we talk to Michael Davison, a filmmaker living in Cambridge, and Programming Director for the Grand River Film Festival. He continues our streak of having actual filmmakers on the show, this time with experience in production - specifically financing and post-production. We talk about the visibility and invisibility of VFX special effects in movies and how making a movie is hard but amazing work.
