• Gemini Gems: Stefan Brogren on the Legacy of DEGRASSI
  “I think we feel lucky that we’ve had an opportunity to be around this long and I know that we also feel there are a lot more stories to tell. It’s funny, everytime we think that we’ve done it all something new comes along that is going on in a teen’s life that makes us think that we’ve got to stick around longer. There’s more stories to tell and as long as they want the stories, we’ll keep telling them.” Read more.
