Part 09 – Feast and Famine

Alberta has seen several “Golden Eras” of filmmaking, and the industry has constantly been in a state of flux, but there are many industry professionals who are devoting their careers to help sustain and grow local and provincial film.

In Part 9, Liam and Ingrid are joined by two long standing industry members, Damian Petti (International Vice President of IATSE and President of IATSE Local 212) and Valerie Siu (Utility Sound Technician), to learn about the modern growth and phases that Albertan filmmaking has seen. Val Siu also discusses her experience working on big film sets, and bringing Pedro Pascal onto her CJSW show Breaking Techniques when he was in town for The Last Of Us (featuring clips from the episode he co-hosted).
