EAVE certified!

Last week we finished the EAVE On Demand Access Program, presented by NSI and CMF. It was a mindblowing experience on all fronts. 3 workshops throughout the year so that we as Producers and Executive Producers can further our companies and our projects to be marketplace ready. Working with mentors who can empathize with our paths and journeys was a tremendous experience. If you’re looking to take part in the next cohort, send me an email to learn more. I highly recommend this program for all Producers looking to take their projects and production companies to the next level.

Excited for Day 2 of EAVE On Demand

If you’re all wondering where I am today, it’s Edmonton, Alberta! I’m attending in person workshops – 3rd of 3 workshops. EAVE On Demand – Presented by the National Screen Institute Canada (NSI) with the support of Canadian Media Fund (CMF). This has been a mind-blowing experience of Producing workshops. If anyone is thinking of applying for next year, I’d love to chat with you. It’s definitely worth the investment of time.

Day 4 of 4 – WIFT-T Devlopment Incubator

Today was pitch day!  What do we learn as professionals who’ve pitched ourselves for 20 years already in the industry.  Not sure how we could have survived in an industry, if we didn’t know how to pitch.  In a world where your next job means what the decision-maker thinks of you, we are constantly on!  But sometimes it’s just validation that we need. Yes, what we do has a name… what we do is well received… what we do is great… what we do is a shared experience!  And as I mentioned in day 3, it’s just that we should follow our gut.  And from this experience, we gleaned as much as we could.  Thanks WIFT for offering this program.  Thanks NBC Universal and Telefilm for sponsoring this event.  We’ll see you in the movies!

Day 3 Development Incubator -WIFT-T

On Day 3 we had 2 speakers – casting with Marissa Richmond and Distribution with Caroline Habib.  We were asked to submit character descriptions.  Kept vague on purpose, and if I had kept to my instinct, we might have had a bigger roster to glean from, but we were given some suggestions in casting.  But as with all the sessions before, I realized that my gut instinct meant a lot more than just what each presenter brought to the table.  And what I’m realizing is that a producer’s gut feeling means so much and each guest only feeds to that gut so that we-as producers-keep going to the finish line.  The film is the thing and producers must keep driving that process and steering that ship to stay on course.
