\u201cFive in Focus: Atlantic\u201d Directors Announced<\/p>\n
OTTAWA (February 1, 2018) \u2013 Women in View announced the selected directors for the \u201cFive in Focus: Atlantic\u201d initiative at CMPA’s Prime Time in Ottawa today. Launched at Prime Time in 2017 as a three year initiative, Five in Focus illustrates the depth and diversity of directing talent by shining a spotlight on five women directors, each year. The program was designed to bring together producers and broadcasters to identify and promote Canadian women media creators.<\/p>\n
\u201cFive in Focus was one of the most professionally gratifying experiences for me. It was instrumental in helping me sign with an agent as well as getting me in front of producers which resulted in my first TV directing gigs.\u201d said director Gloria Ui Young Kim, one of the 2017 Five in Focus directors. \u201cThis invaluable spotlight helped me to advance my career in the most meaningful way.\u201d<\/p>\n
For year two, Women in View has partnered with Women in Film and Television- Atlantic and Telefilm Canada to turn the spotlight on five women directors from the Atlantic region. “We have so many talented women in Atlantic Canada working outside the mainstream. It\u2019s exciting to see our directors given the chance to step up and show the rest of Canada what they have to offer,\u201d says Kimberlee McTaggart, WIFT-AT chair.<\/p>\n
Each of the five directors will participate in an Industry Day organized by international consultant Jan Miller, in Halifax on March 2 where they will have customized one-on-one meetings with producers, and a Master Class with some of Canada\u2019s most respected media creators. This will be followed by their full participation in WIFT-AT\u2019s Women Making Waves conference which begins the evening of March 2 and continues March 3 with a remarkable line-up of talent. The Five in Focus 2018 directors are available for interviews.
\nFive in Focus: Atlantic is supported by the Status of Women Canada and Telefilm Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
