Berson Boys 2006-07 Zoe Mapp and Jeanne Pope

Moving to the tombstone engravers, Berson Monuments, the oldest business still in existence on the Main, we meet Tony, Harry and Serge, the Berson Boys, who have worked for a combined 85 years. This was also where Montreal sculptor Stanley Lewis had his studio for 25 years. He died during the making of this film at 75. This film is a tribute not only to Stanley but also to the boys he had known for so long, signifying the end of an era.

She is interesting in class, lively in class, often in communication with students, very popular with students. Jeannette is a very conscientious documentary teacher." TianHui Li,  award winning filmmaker, Beijing Film Academy graduate, Concordia University

"Jeannette taught me the tools I needed, never having made a documentary before. She gave so much time, patience to show me, guide me and share her creativity and skills with me."  Zou Qialing, Master's student, Beijing Film Academy
