Here’s what’s on the go in New Brunswick:
- Jillian Acreman is working on her third short film which has a working title of “Ponzi!” She is planning to film in Los Angeles and in order to capitalize on limited funding she will be collecting Airmiles to fly out the Canadian crew members. Contact Jillian (jillianacreman@hotmail.com) for Airmiles donation inquiries! And look out for “Ponzi!” in late 2011.
- Christine McLean, a New Brunswick arts journalist, is now a full-time journalism professor at St. Thomas University. While having guests such as Jan Wong in class this fall has been a thrill, Christine still enjoys getting off campus. She hosted CBC Radio’s Information Morning over the Christmas holidays. She also moderated a popular panel at the Silver Wave Film Festival entitled “She Shoots. She Scores: Success Stories from New Brunswick’s female filmmakers.” She is a regular host of the In Conversation series at the Fredericton Playhouse, interviewing groups such the Canadian Brass and later this winter, the Canadian opera star, Ben Heppner. Christine is very excited about her role in the upcoming Women Making Waves weekend.
