The fact that Caitlin's Way is mostly financed by CanWest Global is a refreshing change from the usual mix of applications and the house of cards tricks required for financing in Alberta. When everybody in the province worked hard at lobbying the government, it showed that people really cared about the industry and wanted to stay here. Caitlin's Way is, on one level, the story of an unruly, independent teen surviving in a wilderness locale with strangers. On another level it is a testimony to surviving as an artist and producer in a part of the country and environment which can be challenging and at times, discouraging, unless you hold onto your dreams. But you always have to remember that the art is what people are looking for.
Art is locked into our dreams.
If you lose your dreams, you lose the whole ballgame.
