The revealing, intimate, and often funny conversation was held at the conference centre and led by Steven Gaydos, Executive Editor of Variety (a major festival sponsor). Baruchel opened up about everything from his humble family life in Montreal to being seriously bullied at school as a kid. The fiercely patriotic actor, who despite the Hollywood fame opts to reside in Montreal, spoke with great zeal about his passion for Canada and Canadian film, and told the audience how he “wanted to do for Montreal what [David] Cronenberg did for Toronto.”
