The New Wave of Filmmakers on YouTube. Top Story - October 2020.
A couple of weeks back, I started a podcast with my friend Shania Bethune, called “Making It: Women in Film” (shameless self-plug), where we sit down with women who work in the film and TV industry. We wanted to create a space where women could speak about and share their experiences and opinions, and where aspiring filmmakers could ask for advice and get answers relevant to their position and dreams.

Suzannah Dacre of ULTIS pro: “Love powers everything; in life and business”
As a part of my series about strong female leaders, I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzannah Dacre, founder of ULTIS pro, CEO of many visions, and philanthropic innovation strategist. Suzannah is well known for her work in community and business, and isn’t a stranger to award recognised startups defying industry standards. A daughter of a builder and lawyer, and raised by an international merchant shipping captain, international business is the norm, and so is rough terrain in the community. But when business meets community, and the gap between rich and poor are a hot topic worldwide, ULTIS pro is working to defy that. It is a vision by Suzannah Dacre, that people are calling powerful, and profound, and aims to close the gap between rich and poor, that allows people to be selfish and selfless at the same time.

It was a beautiful day to Strut the Skies on August 15, 2020. Amanda Witkowski and Alyssa Lego spearheaded yet another magnificent event filled with fashion, entertainment, fundraising and more! Of course, this event looked much different than their events in the past, given the pandemic and finding a safe way to bring attention to the cause they have dedicated themselves to- bringing awareness to Autism and raising funds to help individuals on the spectrum.

The Craft: Film Directors Ep 2
In this episode of The Craft, we sit down with four up-and-coming directors to discuss their work and experiences within the film industry. The directors reflect upon their transition from a pre-professional track to a now professional process. They note the need to be kinder to themselves and allow room for mistakes. It is the mistakes that are the most vital to building any process. Additionally, the directors push back against formulas especially when it comes to standards. They find this adaptability to be critical when working with tight budgets - a harsh reality many young filmmakers face. But it is within those moments that they recount their most innovative and collaborative experiences.
