In light of recent events, it would do us good to remind ourselves that women have a place in the film industry, and not just as sexual objects for the men in charge. Here is a partial list of 20 female filmmakers and producers to follow on Twitter. Engage with them online to actively participate […]
Hallowe’en always brings the horror genre into focus. Horror films always have a certain audience, as we are captivated by misfortune that happens to our fellows. Horror films are a great place to launch a career because they can be made without the huge financial resources other genres can demand. With us battening down the […]
One of the coolest parts of the Raindance Film Festival was my first introduction to VR technology. As I sat in a Masterclass I learned how challenging this new technology is for linear story telling. The viewer could be looking left while the big murder happens to the right. The rest of the story doesn’t […]
Recently, the first produced script I wrote to be produced (with an actual budget), wrapped in the Netherlands.

It took me bunji-jumping off Victoria Falls Bridge to realise I wanted to get back to stories. Fast forward to now and, at the […]
I’m fascinated to learn what Toronto’s lo-budget filmmakers can learn from Elliot Grove. I managed to catch up with him in between his busy travel schedule. My name is Tiska Wiederman and I run the Raindance Postgraduate Film Degree programme out of my loft here in Toronto. I’ve known Elliot Grove since 2011. Few people […]
Just under a year ago, I graduated from a BA Film and Animation course. Since graduating, I’ve been lucky enough to meet some great people and work on some fantastic stuff. But, whilst in thought the other day, I realised how much I would do differently if I could go back in time and start […]
