Filmmaker Presents to Grade 12 Writer's Craft
Today in Ms. Hudson's Grade 12 Writer's Craft course, the students were treated to a virtual presentation and discussion with Joseph Amenta, a queer filmmaker and artist based in Toronto. Joseph's work focuses on empowering the most marginalized in LGBTQ communities by telling their stories with empathy.
Joseph graduated from Ryerson with a degree in Image Arts Film Studies and went on to study at the Canadian Film Centre. Joseph has written, directed, and produced several short films that have been featured at international film festivals. Currently, they are preparing for their debut feature film, Tribe, which will be filming this summer.
Joseph also offered the students an exciting opportunity to be entered into a draw to be a part of a shadowing program that he is running during the filming process of their film in the summer.
Any students who are considering going into film or screenwriting should contact Ms. Hudson for more information about this exciting program.
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
