"There's a huge history of 3D creation tools that comes
out of Montreal. There's a wealth of intellectual
knowledge, the talent pool, that's available in that
particular region of the world. It's second to none for
that type of work."
Michel Kripalani
Senior Games Industry Manager
AUTODESK
"Really, the tax credits - although they are great - are
just a sweetener to the fact it's a great place. Of course
we're all biased because many of us are natives, but
really, I don't think you'll find somewhere with so many
creative people in one place."
Jason Della Rocca
Executive director
"- it's a region on the ascent, buoyed financially
and culturally. It's a moot point as to whether or not
others will go, as those already there are growing it by
themselves. The real question is: are you interested in
being a part of it?"
