Women Of This Land, a co-pro doc series between Peep Media & Princess Space Monster Films, airs on CBC in early 2024
Get ready to give a warm welcome to the one and only Jackie Torrens! This legendary Director, Filmmaker & Actor is joining us at SNC 2023 and we couldn't be more thrilled. Torrens is a force to be reckoned, known for her unique visual style and love for all things quirky and offbeat.
But that's not all - Torrens is also an award-winning writer and actor, and together with producer Jessica Brown, they co-own the Halifax-based production company Peep Media. Their documentary films have taken the world by storm, including Edge of East, My Week On Welfare, Small Town Show Biz, and their latest masterpiece Bernie Langille Wants To Know What Happened To Bernie Langille (which won Best Director at WIFT-AT, Best Documentary at AIFF, and Best Atlantic Filmmaker at Lunenberg Doc Festival).
But Torrens' talents don't stop there. They've also directed two films for Telltale Productions, Free Reins and the feature documentary Radical Age. And if that's not enough, she's done numerous radio documentaries for CBC, including The Poet Laureate of Youth Now (which won the Atlantic Journalism award) and Camp Mini Ha Ha (which won the CBC Award of Excellence).
So get ready to be inspired, entertained, and blown away by the incredible Jackie Torrens. We can't wait to see what they have in store for us at SNC 2023!
