Canadian Cinema Editors Board of Directors

,

I recently attended by final board meeting with the Canadian Cinema Editors and wanted to say a few important words after my two year term. In reflection, when you join a volunteer board of directors for the first time, you really don’t know what to anticipate. I can’t brag enough about the AMAZING group of people I had the privilege to work with. Editors across Canada who inspired me to be passionate, creative, and organized. When you mesh a group of passionate and caring people together, the results are pretty amazing. I can’t help but look back and be very proud of the work this amazing group of people accomplished together

Looking Forward

I am very confident in the new board that was elected to carry forward the work and take the organization to the next level. All the best and thinking of you.

Sofa Queens - Editing a Web Series 2020

, ,

This past summer, I made a pledge to up my anti and get into scripted content. I took a course a year before at LIFT for Web Series writing. I have written any number of pilot scripts - some which have never seen the light and others that are still in development. I thought tackling the world of short-form writing was a good way for me to stay connected to one story and didn’t tax me too much with my full time job.

THE ALIENS premiere in Toronto at Coal Mine Theatre

THE ALIENS premiere in Toronto at Coal Mine Theatre

Having read the reviews before watching the production on stage, I realized I was preparing myself for all those moments the critics reported: silences, the feelings of loss, frustrating unrealized potential, the perfect play for millennial misfits, etc. What I didn't expect was the tears. I was barely able to clap and woot at the end, so much was I chocking on emotions that Annie Baker brought out through sparse dialogue.

A Morning with Brett Story - Hot Docs Filmmakers Series

, ,

What a way to end the Hot Docs Filmmakers Series with Brett Story. Linda Barnard, as majestic as always, led the discussion on our final week together. Director of LAND OF DESTINY and A PRISON IN 12 LANDSCAPES. Brett Story. Where do I begin? Brett proves that hard work, determination, and willpower are enough to produce the awe-inspiring and lyrical documentaries that she has been able to create in such a short period of time.
