Praxis in partnership with BC Film is pleased to announce a highly insightful presentation on the Canadian Theatrical Feature Film Industry's future with Peter Grant, free of charge. Peter Grant, a media expert and lawyer, possesses a sweeping overview of Canada's cultural industries within an international context. His presentation, Stories Under Stress: The New Economics of Film and TV Drama in Canada, addresses the following questions: "What is the impact of the current recession on Canadian film and TV drama? What will happen with the over-the-air TV station renewals? What will be the role of the subscription programming services? How will feature film be affected? How will new media impact this?"
A must for producers, filmmakers and writers in all media genres!
