My phone rang, it was a local MP and he wanted a meeting face-two-face. I knew the guy and said: 'well, you know where the house is, come by anytime'... So the next day he came over in the evening and began a conversation saying: 'Grace, we can't have these movie crews in Vancouver...They block the streets and no-one likes them'. ...He simply wanted to send the industry packing.
After hearing him, it was my turn to speak and I defended film in Vancouver. Explaining the benefits and all the good that came from foreign film production.
