“These four months of participating as the practicum intern for the Digi60 Filmmakers Festival have been a very great and eye-opening experience. During this time, I have conducted interviews with local Ottawa-based filmmakers, to then shoot and produce behind-the-scenes footage in accordance with the content I had captured during these set visits. Alongside the set visits, this practicum experience has also opened opportunities to connect with a great group of diverse and talented people from varying backgrounds for the possibility of collaborating in the near future. The Digi60 team is a very supportive and welcoming group of individuals who have really shaped this practicum experience into something very admirable and insightful, and I greatly thank them for giving me this opportunity.”
