In Conversation with Canadian Cinema Editors, Episode 046
Today’s episode of The Editor’s Cut is part of an online master series. Listen to my conversation with Sedina Fiati on film, my career and what’s happening in the industry.
“…I was really inspired by a lot of American filmmakers. I was really inspired Kasi Lemmons, Spike Lee of course. Those are the big two that but I remember literally seeing Eve’s Bayou. Oh, of course John Singleton, rest in peace with Poetic Justice. When I saw Poetic Justice, I was like, oh my God, I want to do this! I want to make these films! I want to be able to tell the stories that are important to me.”
This talk was moderated by Sedina Fiati, a performer, producer, creator and activist for stage and screen. She holds a BFA in Music Theatre from the University of Windsor and is also a graduate of Etobicoke School of the Arts. Sedina is very active in the Toronto media arts scene advocating for increased representation of people of colour, LGBTQ+, D/deaf and disabled artists on camera and in all creative and crew roles.
