The Power of Creative Design in Independent Film

October 18
10:00 - 11:15 PT
Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Reliance Theatre / 520 E 1st Ave,
Vancouver, Canada

Guests: Danny Vermette (Longlegs, The Monkey, The Lost Daughter), James Philpott (Bones of Crows, The 100, Smallville), Cheryl Marion (Angela’s Shadow, Lucky Hank, Can I Get a Witness), Stephanie Ajmera (Allegiance, Bones of Crows, Fresh)
Moderator: Michael Nankin (Hell on Wheels, Battlestar Galactica, CSI)

In independent and low-budget filmmaking, creativity becomes the most valuable currency. This conversation explores how production designers shape cinematic worlds with limited resources — and how those same constraints can also open the door to telling bold, meaningful stories with greater creative freedom.
