#IATSE891 is calling on the government of #Canada to eliminate the federal grind on film tax incentives.

This change would make #BC and #Canada more competitive and help attract more productions and good jobs for our members.

Please boost and sign the linked #epetition to support more work for Canadian crews and talent now.

2016. After wrapping the last shoot on Ollie & Emma #TelusOptik #webseries #FilmProduction at the Village Foods grocery store in #Sooke.
Me & the lighting crew were the last ones to clock out. I was always the last crew to leave sets because I was also the locations manager. We goofed around with wigs & accessories props from my costumes tickle trunk. I provided several props for the production filming from my own personal collections.
I was on contract with Less Bland Productions in #VictoriaBC at the time.

Please take some time watch my deceased friend, Twyla's #documentary. She worked extremely hard with Alexandra Morton to create this film doc. It's about the plight of #BCWildSalmon & why many of us activists here have been fighting to get all open net fish farms out of BC coastal waters. They should have never been allowed to set up operations in the first place.

Many bad things are happening in the world, but helpers are also quietly at work to counteract them

A BC man has taken donations from Fraser Health, a local surgeon, BC Lions & Whitecaps, #bcfilm & others to help Ukrainians

I LOVE my communities: #BCFilm; Ukrainian Canadians; Ukrainians in Ukraine. We're all working together to raise money to fund trauma therapy for the children of fallen heroes. I'm especially awestruck by the Ukrainians in Ukraine who are helping us raise money for these kids: the film distributor who is working around outages to answer our questions and send us marketing materials; the artists who are sending us gorgeous paintings for our auction. I can't wait to one day thank them in person.

Here's the old #pitch #video I #created with Ana De Lara for #Telus #StoryHive grant. We didn't get it but hope it will get picked up by other funders & distributors. I helped to make all popsicle puppets, the scripts & helped with edits. I was art director, cast/crew recruiter & production manager for this #VictoriaBC #FilmProject . https://youtu.be/JRo-uBSuLRk

Oh, it was SO GOOD to be back on the #UBCPACTRAAwards2022 red carpet with the shining stars of #BCFilm. The talent in this town is off the charts. I interviewed more than 30 remarkable talents in a whirlwind 80 minutes (including #EricMcCormack @jewelstaite #JohnCassini @NillBewton #BrianMarkinson #RichardHarmon #AgamDarshi #TasyaTeles #TaylorHickson #NicoleOliver). 🤯 Next up: we edit all of the interviews into a one-hour special, coming soon to a streamer near you. But first, I 😴

Today I’m going to throw on a sparkly dress and stand on a red carpet with a mic in my hand and have 50+ two-minute conversations with the shining stars of #BCFilm (like @jewelstaite and @NillBewton) at the #2022UBCPACTRAAwards and then I’m going to come home and take off my shoes and eat cold pizza and watch documentaries about prison reform on YouTube. My job is weird and I love it.

Had an awesome time at the Vancouver Horror Show earlier this month screening Damned Supper. Was especially great to have two chances to grace the red carpet in some me made outfits. So many fantastic fear filled films to feast on with a bunch of fine filmmakers!

I released an episode of the #YVRScreenScenePodcast today featuring #LeahGibson, who played Inez on #JessicaJones and can currently be seen as live-wire Jeannie on #JoePickett. Leah is a lot of fun to talk to, cute as a button, and talented AF; I actually burst into song in the middle of the episode (which I'm surprised doesn't happen more often). You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts or all fine/free podcatchers. #podcast #BCFilm https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/episode-249-leah-gibson/id1457938433?i=1000586696687

Working on my question cards for Saturday (when I will once again host the UBCP / ACTRA Awards Red Carpet) and I'm smiling like a mafk. In a truly challenging year, I'm grateful that I get to do work that I enjoy in a community that I love. Watch this space for photos from the red carpet! #BCFilm #UBCPACTRAAwards2022

On Twitter, my tweets are generally about one or a combination of the following: Ukraine; #BCFilm; sci-fi and nerd shit; cats; mental health; random happenings that blow my mind; things in the zeitgeist that lead me to despair; social justice; candy. I'm also a nostalgia junkie and I post a lot about my friends. I expect I'll be posting the same kind of content here ...JFC, is this what it feels like to write a profile for a dating app?
