New program at B.C. university caters to budding Indigenous filmmakers
The film industry is notoriously a tough one to crack, and it’s no secret that statement rings especially true for directors from Indigenous backgrounds. Such under-representation in the industry is the main driving force for Capilano University’s new program, one that aids emerging, Indigenous filmmakers from across British Columbia and Alberta.
“To my knowledge, there are only two Indigenous assistant directors in B.C. working on unionized film productions.” Those enrolled also receive additional training in order to receive their Motion Picture Industry Orientation, Set Safety and WHMIS certifications. “This program empowers me to transition from being in front of the camera to behind the camera, allowing me to control the narrative of my life and world views.”
