CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT VIDEO: INTERVIEW WITH VINCENZO NATALI

Guillermo del Toro's new Netflix horror anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities dropped on Netfix October 25th, just in time for Halloween.  To celebrate, we caught up with DGC Ontario Director Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice, Hannibal) to discuss his work within the "cinema fantastique", why he's always been drawn to genre film, and "Graveyard Rats," his creepy crawly short for  Cabinet of Curiosities.

This Pride Month, we spoke to DGC Ontario Members who are spotlighting marginalized voices, changing our cultural perceptions of what it means to be part of the 2SLGBTQ community, and sharing queer stories of hope and resilience. In our latest Creative Spotlight, we speak to Director, Writer, Producer and Actor Sharon Lewis about her powerful documentary film With Wonder, which screened at the recent 2022 Inside Out Film Festival in Toronto and takes the viewer on an extraordinary journey to explore the intersection of the queer, Christian community of colour.

HELLO (AGAIN) LOCATION MANAGER MICHAEL ROKNIC ON THE LINK BETWEEN LOCATION AND CHARACTER

Hello (Again), the new CBC Gem webseries created by Nathalie Younglai (Coroner) and Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Kim's Convenience) follows the complicated romance between chef Jayden and ER resident Avery. Six months after their breakup, Jayden is mysteriously sent back in time to the day that he and Avery met, giving him a chance to fix the mistakes of his past. We spoke to Location Manager Michael Roknic about finding the perfect Toronto-based locations for each character, the importance of authenticity, and tapping into how specific areas of the GTA fit within the story.
