François N. Macerola
François N. Macerola (January 31, 1942[1] – November 8, 2018) was a Canadian lawyer and movie executive. He was born in Montreal, Quebec. Macerola worked for the National Film Board of Canada and Telefilm Canada. His career began in 1976.
Macerola dealt with the controversy surrounding the 1982 docudrama The Kid Who Couldn't Miss, about the life of fighter pilot Billy Bishop because the movie poorly depicted his life with accuracy.[2]
Macerola died on the morning of November 8, 2018 in Montreal at the age of 76.[3]
