TORONTO - It s been an emotional start to the week for Halifax-raised filmmaker Ben Proudfoot.
On Monday, the Los Angeles-based director-producer scored an Oscar nomination for the documentary short A Concerto is a Conversation, which traces the family lineage of co-director and composer Kris Bowers.
Proudfoot said he was floored by the news and was fielding many congratulatory messages from Hollywood, but he was also facing a more sombre time, after travelling home to Halifax and finishing a 14-day pandemic quarantine so he could be with his mom.
