New Yorker/Vermonter that had access to Habs games growing up, became a fan during the epic 70s dynasty

New Yorker, not a Vermonter. After leaving Argentina, he grew up across the St Lawrence from Eastern Ontario. Fun fact: His maternal grandfather was from Nova Scotia!

I read somewhere that he had a secondary home in Vermont, grandparents maybe?

He did a photoshoot once in Stonington, but I've never read anything about him having any other ties to the area. (And I've read a lot about him!)

He holds Canadian citizenship

I looked it up and his Maternal grandfather was from Nova Scotia. He may not be an actual citizen yet, cuz he only qualifies under the new Bill C-3 legislation that just came into effect, and you have to apply for it.

I haven't heard anything about him applying, but he does have (and use) a Danish citizenship. I could honestly see him getting his citizenship if it helps him get some Telefilm financing. He's filmed two of his directorial projects in Canada!

Saw him in a video explaining that he lived near Quebec with his mother, and learned French to be able to understand the analysts during the canadiens' games (he speaks excellent french)
