Did you know Victoria had one of the first film studios in Canada and the province’s first film commission? Here's your chance to learn the fascinating history of filmmaking in southern Vancouver Island from someone who knows the film scene inside and out - outgoing Head of the Vancouver Island South Film & Media Commission, Kathleen Gilbert.
Kathleen took on the job of Commissioner in 2010 after a lengthy career as a location manager for film and TV. Under her dedicated leadership by 2022 alone, the Capitol Regional District’s film industry had grown from contributing $6 million to $60 million a year in direct spending. Listen up as she shares her start as a founder member of Cinevic, her weirdest encounter as a location manager and what she’ll miss most when she moves on from Commissioner to civilian.
