Would you like to tell your viewers about your professional journey?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>Except for the fact I\u2019ve always been passionate about movies and story telling, I began being interested in filming in 1998. I had launched a business in Quebec which was having a nice success, but I wanted to expand in the United States and was looking for the proper media to expand. I was impressed by the power of infomercials, mostly the 30-minute infomercial format. I kept telling myself, you \u201cown\u201d 30 minutes of television nation wide every day to show how your product is better than others.<\/p>\n<p>I remember watching Ross Perrot, the former candidate at the United States Presidency against Bill Clinton and George Bush, on television in 1992. He aired a 30-minute infomercial on how he would change America if he became the next President. It took him to number one in the polls in a few weeks. To me, that was so powerful. In 1998 while launching my business, I did some research on longform infomercials and found the world expert in the field was Kevin Harrington. Kevin is the inventor of the infomercial, a major successful businessman and marketing genius. Kevin has generated over 5 billion in sales in his career, that\u2019s without counting all the people he has coached like me and who have had success.<\/p>\n<p>After getting a meeting booked with Kevin, I flew to Florida for what was supposed to be a short 30-minute meeting with him. It turned into a 3-hour meeting with his entire team joining us, followed by a dinner. I came out of that trip with a business partnership, and mostly a mentor that would change my life and career. In fact, I\u2019m thinking, maybe I should get the rights to his life story and do a Hollywood movie about it, lol.<\/p>\n<p>That experience changed my life, and I knew I wanted to be an \u201con-screen\u201d story teller, a producer. Kevin got me to see the power of a video, the power of \u201cstory telling,\u201d long before all the influencers, youtube podcasters and Tik Tok of these days. Since then, I produced many videos, commercials and infomercials and got that connection with the camera. Now, I take that knowledge, and bring it to documentary films and other Hollywood movies we are working on.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" title=\"c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2.png\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38926\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20960%20540%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_e4ee70ccc14f421a831830a707810cd3mv2.png 960w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>When and how did the need to investigate mercury, and inform the people about this issue, become compelling?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>The need to investigate mercury began at a medical conference I was attending in 2016. I was asked to film some speakers who were doctors. Not even 15 minutes into the filming, some people came to me asking why I was filming. They seemed nervous. They explained to me that every time a media filmed them, it was to \u201ccancel\u201d them for their views and medical observations on mercury toxicity with some patients. I decided to go around the crowd and talk with other doctors attending the conference.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, most of them where initially very nervous at the idea to speak with me. I had to build a relation of trust. So, from filming one conference, me and my team started filming as many experts we could, who accepted to be interviewed. I had a feeling this could lead to a larger story. From the 90-minute conference initially planned, we ended up filming for two days. That was the beginning of &#8220;Silenced, as mercury rises&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>How long did it take you to complete the documentary, how did you proceed?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>If we count in the conference we filmed in 2016, it has taken us 5 years to complete the documentary. In the end we lost a lot of time mostly due to Covid. The other thing that happened is, we changed the angle of the story three times. We began by making a list of people we wanted in the film to tell the story. Then it\u2019s all about building a trust relation with them.<\/p>\n<p>My partner Chad Murdock, who filmed some of the testimonials we have, was an expert at creating that bond during shoots. The objective is to create a conversation, not just getting a camera in their face that makes them nervous. Once you\u2019ve started that conversation, there is a natural flow that can be filmed without the feeling that there is a camera \u201con you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-6 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-1024x576.png\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38928\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271080%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201920%201080%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271920%27%20height%3D%271080%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2-1200x675.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_f7029520f93e4cbc9a61ea26036132d8mv2.png 1920w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Do you believe that it is &#8220;on&#8221; the citizens of the world to find and implement the solutions to all the dire environmental issues we are currently facing?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p>Although citizens need to be part of the process to implement solutions for environmental issues, I do not think it is on citizens alone to find and implement them. Citizens don\u2019t manufacture the goods they need. They simply use them and dispose of the rest. We need a lead from the top deciders like Governments, but also from those who manufacture and sell us goods. \u201cYou want me to buy your jeans? Your coffee? Your car? No problem. But implement solutions so I can recycle it. Take mercury. Why do we still find it in casual products like tooth filings, cosmetics, or other products when we know it\u2019s toxic? We need to choose products that do not use mercury. By doing so, we stop the demand for products containing it. This is where the solutions lie. In educating people to buy and use products that have been developed thinking of the environment from the beginning to the end.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve that, we need Governments to give their citizens the proper tools and conditions. I think it is on manufacturers and Governments to lead, and this is an issue for all the reasons we know. Government never changes things unless they can tax it or profit from it. Let\u2019s be honest, we are all slaves to a bunch of others. The majority of us spend 95% of our life going to school athen working for someone else, barely making ends meet until retirement.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-7 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" title=\"c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2.png\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38922\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20960%20540%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_80162b69563c43c2b3a1efecaaa0af31mv2.png 960w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Do you plan to make more investigative documentaries on other topics of global concern?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p>Yes.

How do you feel about &#8220;the speed factor&#8221; in their development?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-13\"><p>My feel in the field is that anti-Covid vaccines is a big media propaganda. I\u2019m not saying they don\u2019t exist. They do. And the media using words like \u201canti-vax\u201d worked like a charm. It sells news and clicks using division. Sad old marketing strategy that still works. Talk to anyone around you, finding an anti-vax is very rare. But\u2026 you will find people that fear the new vaccines. That is different. In this crisis, media and politicians should have used unity, empathy and listened to those in fear instead of dividing. Real anti-vax is probably less than 2% of the population. Most people fear the new vaccines because they don\u2019t have a history of those vaccines. It\u2019s new to all of us. That fear is slowly going down now, because we have given billions of doses worldwide and vaccines have proven they worked and make a positive difference. We now know the vaccines have lower efficacy after a few months, so it\u2019s a learn in progress thing. The fact we pay attention to anti-vax is giving them too much importance, we shouldn\u2019t even talk about them anymore. Vaccines have saved millions of lives. But, that does not mean vaccines are all 100% safe. There is a big difference.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-top:5%;--awb-margin-bottom:5%;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-9 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" title=\"c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8~mv2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2.png\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-38919\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20960%20540%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27540%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.world-film-festival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c3199b_6bb54c4b63ef4b15966ca34b25db45f8mv2.png 960w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-text-font-family:&quot;LemonMilk&quot;;--awb-text-font-style:normal;--awb-text-font-weight:400;\"><p>Do you have any advice you&#8217;d like to share with the younger generations?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-15\"><p>I guess the most important advice I can give to younger generations is to never give up and live \u201cyour\u201d life.
