Jeremy Larter has done what few other Prince Edward Islanders have been able to do — he made a feature film on the Island, about the Island, which was so popular that it even beat Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour at the Island box office on its opening weekend. Larter sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about the film, titled Who's Yer Father?, how his experience as a lobster fisherman helped him write the story, and what he hopes for the future of filmmakers on the Island.
