| 9/6/23 | ![]() How TIFF Catapults Canadian Careers | The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the world's most prestigious celebrations of cinema and television. For up and coming Canadian directors, a TIFF premiere means increased exposure, possible critical acclaim, and potential distribution deals - all of which could propel their careers forward. But what does international success mean to Canadian filmmakers? And how can we continue to foster generations of talent here at home? Our guests in this episode, Directors Atom Egoyan and Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, speak with host Annie Bradley about the role TIFF played in their career progression amidst a changing Canadian film industry, the importance of artistic passion and community, and the future Canadian filmmakers face in this digital age.

| 6/22/23 | ![]() Exploring the Queer Filmmaker Galaxy with Director Pat Mills, Editor Maureen Grant and Production Manager Moe Rai | In this episode of The Wider Lens, we’re shining a spotlight on queer film and TV with three passionate DGC Ontario Members: Director Pat Mills, Picture Editor Maureen Grant, and Production Manager Moe Rai. Over the last few years, there has been an extraordinary push for queer representation. Audiences all over the world are connecting with queer shows shot right here in Ontario, like Sort Of, Schitt's Creek, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Umbrella Academy. From behind the camera to the production office to the editing suite, Pat, Maureen and Moe shed light on what this surge in representation means for the community, the challenges they've encountered working within a predominantly straight and cisgender industry, the power of seeing yourself reflected authentically on screen, and the profound impact representation has for future generations. | — | ||||||

Helen, Danishka and Sam share their experiences in the film industry, how they define themselves and their worth as filmmakers, asserting your authority while still respecting everyone involved, and finding male allies who want to open doors for women Directors. Tune in to hear these Directors talk about the pressure to be perfect, if progress is really happening for women who dream of directing, and how vulnerability can be a feminine superpower. | — | ||||||

Miles Dale, all frequent collaborators of del Toro who are nominated for Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards.

| 12/16/21 | ![]() Fix it in Prep: Previsualizing with Virtual Production | Virtual production uses game engines like Unreal and Unity to create scenes across the physical and digital worlds. In contrast to traditional production techniques, VP encourages a more iterative, nonlinear, and collaborative process, gifting creatives with a "fix it in prep" approach to visualizing worlds conceptually before they are physically built. In our Virtual Production episode, we sit down with Cinematographer Jeremy Benning (The Expanse, Condor), DGC Ontario VFX Supervisor Sumeet Vats (The Expanse, Dark Matter) and Pixomondo VFX &VAD Supervisor Nathaniel Larouche (Watchmen, The Umbrella Academy) to discuss this game-changing technology's impact on craft, prep and the future of production. | — | ||||||
