Post-production is an area of film that gets little glamour. Editors, Sound Mixers, Post Supervisors, and other roles in post-production are often heroes to the producers, and can either save a film, or make it immeasurably better. This panel of post-production prodigies (see what I did there?) will give the audience a glimpse into their world and why it's important to NOT skimp in this area, and provide a perspective that is unique to women.

Tuesday May 31 at 7PM tune in for a FREE panel discussion with some amazing women in the Manitoba film industry: Khali Wenaus (Art Director, IATSE Local 856), Alisha Talbot (Makeup Artist, IATSE Local 856), & Shelley Anthis (Winnipeg Film Liaison, DGC Assistant Location Manager, & Filmmaker)! Check out more about our guests below.

This panel will be jointly moderated by Sara Bulloch and FTM’s Allison Bile. Thank you Film Training Manitoba for bringing this panel to life and supporting our upcoming film fest!
