It was a whirlwind day, full of engagement and connection!
The CMPA-BC and member companies @atomiccartoons and @dunya_ca with Premier @jjhorgan in Victoria for Creative Industries Week #BCCreates! A fantastic event to showcase the amazing producers and talent working in the motion picture sector.
Great to see @The_CMPA gaining access to Federal leadership to speak of the essential role of independent Canadian producers
Great to chat with Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, Minister @pablorodriguez, and Eagle Vision's Kyle Irving about independent production 🎬 in Canada 🇨🇦, IP retention, and the importance of modernizing The Broadcasting Act at the #NationalCultureSummit last night!
This is brilliant. I love the practice of flinging oneself into a (positive) future state and then casting the creative imagination back to reveal the path there. Gives hope - and a plan. youtube.com/watch?v=Oh5-8oKV… @SethDKlein @DoreenManuel1 @avilewis
