    Spare My Bones, Coyote! Is out streaming May 1, 2026!


    In this episode we interview Jonah Malak, a great editor-turned director based in Montreal. We discuss his new film, Spare My Bones, Coyote! as well as some of his other hits, such as Dave Not Coming Back and Mystic Mass. We also discuss how he got his films made, from a nuts-and-bolts Canadian Quebec perspective. We talk about the importance of synchronizing yourself to the funding calendars of SODEC, Telefilm, etc. in the fight to get projects made.


    In all it was a great discussion and Jonah really blessed us with his time on the show.

    We discuss our three-year saga making a documentary film about Ben Lachapelle and his mom, Julie Chou. This is probably our best film and people who have seen it have really enjoyed it.
