It's one thing to be invited to the Canadian Film Centre (CFC), it's another thing to actually go. This is Part 2! Read the first post here: I Got Into An Acting Conservatory. When I was accepted into CFC, I had an apartment, a full-time job, and a chronically anxious chihuahua. Going to Toronto meant … Continue reading I Moved To Toronto
I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
Hello. It's been a while. I should probably update you and write about how completely my life has changed in a very short amount of time. I'll keep this as short as I can, but who are we kidding. I'm wordy. Back in May, I happened across an Instagram post on the CFC's (Canadian Film … Continue reading I Got Into An Acting Conservatory
Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Recent Film Things
I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things
What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
Back in November I attended my first feature film premiere for a film I did back in 2017. The film still isn't out yet, but who cares about that when you can see what I wore on the red carpet instead? So on the day of the premiere, I was helping a couple of friends … Continue reading What I Wore: A Red Carpet Event
How I Edit Videos
Video editing is such a particular kind of work. There's no hiding from it, and I kind of like that. When I say there's no hiding from it, what I mean is that it takes all of your attention. You can't be listening to music while you edit, you can't have a tv show on … Continue reading How I Edit Videos
From the End
Things are precarious right now. I am writing this from the other end of a pandemic. Or maybe from the middle. Or even the beginning. I guess we'll see, won't we? For a while now (since this post, really) I've stayed mostly at home, cooped up with my family while we avoided the world. I'm … Continue reading From the End
Production Day 1: Friday the 13th
Super Roommates began filming on Friday the 13th of March. It was amidst a snowstorm, and there was an accident on Deerfoot, so I arrived on set after pretty much all my cast & crew, but our location still wasn't available to us until fifteen minutes after our call time so it wasn't bad. Yet. … Continue reading Production Day 1: Friday the 13th
Producing a Web Series
On Thursday November 28th, Storyhive announced which 40 web series pilots they've decided to fund. Mine was one of them. If you need to catch up, I recommend reading my post, Pitching a Web Series. I'll be honest, I actually found out my pitch had been successful the day before it was announced. I got … Continue reading Producing a Web Series
Ming’s Dynasty
Way back in December, I got cast in my first union role as Kelli in Ming's Dynasty. I got to be on set for two days for this project and it was so much fun! The project itself is also super funny and creative. ...and it's out now! If you're in Canada, you can watch … Continue reading Ming’s Dynasty
