Your comment is not as facetious as it appears, BobbyK. In a G&M interview recently, well-known movie producer/writer/director Steven Soderbergh (newest movie: Logan Lucky) said that ANYBODY with a smart/cel phone can make movies today. He's right.

Then what?  Gonna get financing for marketing/advertising?  Gonna "Ink" a distribution deal to get the thing seen in movie theatres?  How about a tie-in to Crave or Netflix? And finally--the big one--how do you attract a CANADIAN audience?  Not, I suspect, with a "Canadian" story. After all, you want an audience--here or in the states. A universal story in which the "Canadian" angle is downplayed (or ignored--move the location to anywhere, USA) and you might be more successful.
