Comedy Quote by Philippe Falardeau
“There is some humor in Monsieur Lazhar and in all my other films, but this one I'll try to make a real comedy from start to finish. It's called Prescott Etc. because the name of the constituency is so long that everybody in the constituency just says Prescott Etc. I don't know if that's what it will be. It's a working title.”

![“In Canada, I've had success raising money. I think I was fortunate enough. But today, I would have to write a very, very bad script not to be financed for the next one. I'm assured at least of the next one, but you're always [only] as good as your last film. I think it's true for anyone.” quote by Philippe Falardeau](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/574/philippe-falardeau-11523_assured_in-canada-i-ve-had-success-raising-money_68419.jpg)
