How can stage fright be your best ally?As someone who has been in the limelight, I've had the privilege of working in television, hosting numerous online programs, and gracing stages at countless conferences. My experiences have spanned different platforms, but there’s one factor that remains constant: the surge of adrenaline just before the lights come on, more commonly known as stage fright.In light of the events from the past weeks, I've found myself contemplating this particular feeling. From what I've observed, many seem to be mistakenly driven to quash this nervous energy at any cost. However, the true objective shouldn't be to suppress stage fright, but rather to redirect it, using its inherent intensity to captivate and resonate with the audience.While many might interpret tremors as an indication of unpreparedness or vulnerability, my numerous experiences have led me to see them differently. Instead, I view them as a testament to the gravity of the moment, signifying that what's about to unfold truly mattersIt's not about lacking fear, but rather mastering it. Harness this energy to propel you forward, amplifying your passion and dedication.See you in the spotlight!#HarnessTheFear #OwnTheStage #PerformancePower #RedefiningStageFright

Who thought up this ridiculous EXCLUSIVE process for attending the 3 day VIFF Industry Forum? You have to actually APPLY to attend, be vetted and approved. And there’s no schedule, detailed program or complete list of speakers provided for all the sessions given anywhere unless, it seems, you fill in an application and are accepted! How do I even know if I want to go if I don’t know who’s all attending, what the sessions are about and what the schedule is? In all my 48 years in the industry, attending Canadian markets & festivals I have never heard of anything so exclusionary! Who exactly are the gatekeepers vetting attendees? And how do they define "accredited industry professionals"? It’s not like this is a project oriented co-production forum like Strategic Partners in Halifax or IFF during TIFF. And anyone can go to the general TIFF industry conference, as has always been the case at VIFF since 1982.The opening blurb states: "The ever-evolving VIFF Industry Days takes shape this year with over twenty dynamic events featuring 50+ experts, funders, and filmmakers who will generously share their knowledge and experience with us."But speakers are only listed for 3 of the 6 events highlighted on the website, and there's no online schedule for the 3 day forum that runs Oct 1-3 I filled in an application earlier and got a message back ... that they will respond in 10 days. The forum starts in 2 days! WTF is going on here? Have I missed something? https://viff.org/industry/

What’s your mission this year?As we embrace a new year ahead, don’t forget to share your mission with your professional network. If you don’t have a clear mission statement, create one. It will tell your network exactly what your trajectory is. If you have one, revisit it and update it (if needed) to reflect your ongoing journey. Nothing is static and we must adapt. My slightly updated mission:“Transform and advance the content process by building immeasurable trust with filmmakers, upending existing production strategies, apply technical innovation at each stage, and utilize heaps of grit to ensure filmmakers materialize their vision - to deliver great movies onto screens of all sizes, levels-of-interaction and extreme volume levels!”
