CAMOSUN ADVANCES PLANS FOR FILM STUDIO, EDUCATION CENTRE Camosun College is hoping to get the cameras rolling and tap into one of B.C.’s billion-dollar industries, as
plans for a film studio at its Interurban campus move forward.

THE 'SCRAPPY' ROUTE FOR FIRST-TIME CANADIAN FILMMAKERS TO LAND A TIFF PREMIERE The journey from idea to debut involves years of unpaid work, chasing after funding. Canadian filmmakers can spend years on journeys as fraught with drama and risk as the ones
they're telling on screen, trying to navigate the world of Canadian film financing as first-time feature directors and producers. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/first-time-canadian-tiff-films-1.6569431
CANADA MEDIA FUND FUNDING TRIGGERS
RECORD-BREAKING $1.9B IN PRODUCTION According to the report, every $1 of CMF funding generated $5.16 in production activity, the highest leverage ratio since the public-private partnership was founded in 2010, helping create close to 217,000 jobs in Canada’s screen sector. https://broadcastdialogue.com/cmf-funding-triggers-record-breaking-1-9b-in-production/
SAG-AFTRA MEMBERS OVERWHELMINGLY RATIFY NEW CONTRACT WITH NETFLIX Members of SAG-AFTRA have voted resoundingly to ratify a new contract with Netflix. According to the guild, the vote was 89.03% in favor of ratification, although it didn’t release the actual vote count or how many of
its 171,000+ members voted. https://deadline.com/2022/08/sag-aftra-members-overwhelmingly-ratify-new-contract-with-netflix-1235104939/
HOLLYWOOD’S FILM ACADEMY HAS GONE GLOBAL. CAN ITS REVENUE DO THE
SAME? Twenty-five percent of the Academy’s membership now comes from outside the U.S. Fully half of the latest group of new members are deemed international. Another possible future is coming into view, one that may not find the Oscar show with a bigger presence but might re-balance the Academy’s financial underpinnings. https://deadline.com/2022/09/hollywoods-film-academy-gone-global-can-revenue-do-same-1235104763/
OH GOODY, IT’S ANOTHER RADICAL-PHYSICAL-TRANSFORMATION PERFORMANCE It’s clear that Darren Aronofsky, Brendan Fraser, and the A24 publicity team are taking pains to
show how The Whale will not reduce this character to the spectacle of his size, and yet it’s still being framed as an object of fascination. Furthermore, the character is queer and mourning the loss of his male soulmate, a Mormon named Alan. That’s a whole other representational quagmire. https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/brendan-fraser-the-whale-first-look-darren-aronofsky.html
ACTIONING IN ACTING: A FULL GUIDE TO THE TECHNIQUE As musicians fine-tune their instruments, actors do the same with the tools of their craft. Step-by-step scene study is part of that education, and it includes identifying objectives, marking beats, and finding ways to bring
subtext to the forefront. This is where actioning comes into play. https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/actioning-acting-explained-75443/
THE BEST DICTION EXERCISES FOR ACTORS Tongue twisters aren’t
just hard on the eyes, they’re also an important tool in an actor’s diction arsenal, because speaking has a lot to do with learning how to move the tongue in the mouth. Keep reading to learn the importance of articulation and diction training and the best speech exercises for adults. https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/diction-exercise-tips-for-actors-72659/
HOW TO TEACH YOURSELF A DIALECT, ACCORDING TO A VOICE COACH Learning a believable dialect as a “do it yourself” project can be daunting. Knowing what to listen for, how to break it down, and how to practice, and then turning your work into something that will convince a native speaker is
not easy to do—at least without a little guidance. https://www.backstage.com/magazine/article/teaching-dialect-55281/ |
