This filmmaker gets how hard it is to make a movie about mental health

Canadian writer-director Sophy Romvari’s debut feature film, Blue Heron, follows a Hungarian-Canadian family as they relocate to Vancouver Island in the ’90s, and struggle to deal with the eldest son’s increasingly dangerous behavioural issues. She joins Q host Tom Power to talk about the success of her semi-autobiographical feature, the current state of the Canadian independent film industry, and why she finds making personal work so fulfilling.
