TORONTO -- Telefilm Canada said Wednesday that corporate obstacles in Los Angeles have forced former 20th Century Fox film executive Michael Jenkinson to walk away from a commitment to become Canada's film czar. Wayne Clarkson, executive director of Telefilm Canada, which invests in Canadian independent films on behalf of the federal government, said Jenkinson faced unforeseen complications leaving Urban Entertainment (Undercover Brother, The Golden Blaze), the Los Angeles-based shingle he founded in 1999 and runs as CEO. "Due to unforeseeable circumstances, I have been unable to extricate myself from obligations to the stakeholders and filmmakers involved in my company," Jenkinson said.
