Joshua Jackson wants to build a Canadian filmmaking empire

, streaming on Amazon Prime, is sitting beside the CEO and director of his corporation, Ron Thomson. Jackson jokingly calls the Toronto International Film Festival “their debutante ball.” Tonight members of his company who’ve travelled from Los Angeles, New York and Tofino will gather at their first partnership dinner to trade ideas over black cod and Champagne. The storied hotel acts as their clubhouse this festival, as they’ll host parties and panel discussions on the future of new media.

Jackson has worked in independent film production before. In 2008, he was an executive producer on the flagrantly Canadian film, in which a prophetic roll up the rim message to “Go west young man” on the character’s Tim HortonsBut producing and acting in independent films burned him out. “I know so many talented people who are constantly on this hamster wheel of ‘I don’t get this thing finished and distributed in the next six months, they’re going to foreclose my house,” says Jackson.

While Jackson doesn’t indicate if they’ll be keeping their eyes out for any burgeoning Canadian auteurs during TIFF , it’s clear that his heart remains with the plight of his home and native land. “We certainly don’t want to end the Telefilm system any more than we want to end the traditional studio system. But one of the things I recognized growing up in the industry is that the need to recoup your money is highly motivational.”Thomson says that Liquid Media was founded in Canada for a reason.
