‘We need to take our homegrown talent and train them and build them up,’ says Northern Ontario Film Studios CEO David Anselmo
Training sessions offered in Sudbury, North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie this winter will ensure there are more qualified individuals available to work in northern Ontario’s growing film and television sector.
By the conclusion of sessions, participants will have received direct, extensive training in the fields of production assistant, grip/electric and art department. One of the 160 participants in this winter’s training sessions is Dylan Gibson. He said he has been involved in some independent film productions in the past, and joined the training sessions to learn more.
David Ottier is the program’s Sound 101 instructor. Having worked in the sector for 20 years, Ottier, the owner of Midcoast Sound, said he’s already trained many sound engineers who work in film and television in northern Ontario and beyond. Nineteen productions were filmed in Greater Sudbury in 2022, with an economic impact of $18.2 million, the highest since 2017.
