With the the launch of the Film Chats Podcast this week, we thought it would be a good time to introduce the host podcast, Samphe Ballamingie.
Samphe graduated from Carleton University with a major in Sociology and minor in Environmental Studies. Her degree gave her a critical lens that she brought to bear in her interviews with filmmakers on the issues of representation in storytelling. A filmmaker and writer, her recent projects include: How Dare You, screened by the Mobile Film Festival and winner of the Extra Court Award; Profile of An Artist: Taras Tolstikov, filmed and produced in Budapest, Hungary; Zvolen Revisited, filmed and produced in Slovakia. She has published articles for FASSinate Magazine, Open Shelf, Shameless Mag, and Carleton University publications. Samphe is keen to collaborate with other Ottawa creatives; you can connect with her on LinkedIn, YouTube, or Instagram.
