CFTPA Prime Time Conference in Ottawa
Written by Michael | posted in Blog | 0 Comments
Chantal, our head of production and development, has been invited to speak on the ‘New Media Broadcasting and Cancon panel’, at the annual Prime Time conference in Ottawa. The prime time conference is put on by the Canadian Film and Television Producers Association, and is billed as a networking event for hundreds of Canada’s most prominent business leaders, decision-makers and policy experts in the television, film and interactive media production, distribution and exhibition sectors, as well as the broadcasting and telecommunications industries.
Chantal joins panelists Brian Anthony from the Directors Guild of Canada, Jacob Glick from Google and Daniel Hawes from March Entertainment, to “discuss the challenges and opportunities and what the CRTC could do to ensure that Cancon in new media broadcasting is better supported and promoted, and that Canadians have access to that content”.
For a conference that usually focuses on traditional broadcast and distribution, we’re happy to see new media and online video getting recognized as a viable entertainment medium. If you’re going to be in attendance, make sure you say hi to Chantal. We’re sending her with some fresh-baked cookies to give out as a peace offering to all the broadcast folk.
