DOC MB & FTM’s DEEP DIVE filmmaker Sydney Worden's short film "Variations" is now available to watch!

During this program, Sydney was selected to be mentored by veteran filmmaker Danielle Sturk, where she received one-on-one skills development. These training sessions supported Sydney in bringing her vision to life through specialized coaching on organizational aspects of filmmaking, including pre-production and technical aspects. Sydney’s documentary explores adults who participate in recreational dance at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (RWB).

This week's Reel Career Profile is Rebecca Driedger!

Rebecca is a theatre creator and freelance photographer/videographer based in Winnipeg, MB. She loves to mix mediums and tell stories both digitally and physically. A graduate of RRC Polytech’s Creative Communications program, Rebecca has taken promotional photos and videos for companies like Film Training Manitoba, Rainbow Resource Centre, The Gargoyle Theatre and more.

What advice would you give to someone starting off in the media production industry?

Be curious. Take the meetings. Create as much content as you can just for the fun of it. If you enjoy doing something and can show your work, someone will almost always take notice.

Also, if you are interested in something specific, see if you can have a brief call or a coffee with someone in that field. They might say no, but at least you’ve tried.
