Quote:
"Unfortunately, the trees and lakes are often the most interesting characters [in The Far Shore]. When the background overwhelms the actors, the fault must lie with the director who has obviously lost sight of the fact that a balance must be maintained between humanity and nature. In a commercial film, at least. And that is what co-producers [Joyce] Wieland and Judy Steed have said The Far Shore is. That's how they raised $480,000 from the Canadian Film Development Corp., Famous Players Ltd. and other investors."
