    Thats a good question, I thought about this quite a bit. Main reason being that its not really about Toronto at all, it just provides the setting. Toronto happens to be the perfect place for a doc like this.

    Another reason is that I want to create a certain suspension of disbelief so that the audience feels as though they are being shown some exotic locale they've never seen or heard about before. Like a lot of those travel documentaries that take you somewhere new and interesting.

    I figured if I made it obviously Toronto Ontario Canada it would put off a lot of the potential audience. I also want people who are familiar with the place to be able to see a side they haven't seen or thought of before in this way.

    • interesting, although you may consider a quick mention just to set the scene. it seemed weird that you were trying to keep it a secretJG_LB

    • I'm definitely not trying to keep it a secret the location is meant to be revealed subtly.lodef
    • tough to talk about it without the doc being released yet. There's a lot of details about Toronto and Canadalodef
