Jill Brennan '04
It all started with Doc Sumner’s film course…”
Those are the first words from Jill Brennan ’04 during a catch-up call this spring. One of the most passionate students in her Grade 12 film course, it is no wonder that Jill has since established herself as a leader at Steam Films, a media production company.
“After graduating from the University of King’s College in 2010, I wanted to work,” says Jill. “That first summer, I was going to bartend in Toronto, but my mom said, ‘no, use your degree!’ So I applied for an internship at Steam Films – basically, office support, coffee runs and assisting on set. Long hours and not glamorous. But what was supposed to be a two-month stint became seven months, their longest internship ever, because I wouldn’t leave!”

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.
