The September Artist Talk will feature several special guests including Renata Britez (Fredericton-based textile artist) and Kayla Geitzler (Moncton-based poet and winner 2021 Moncton Chamber of Commerce Top 20 Under 40 Award), along with Dan Sinclair (Fundy National Park’s Interpretation Supervisor).In addition to their initial Atlantic Vernacular contributions, Britez and Geitzler also collaborated on the “Fundy Project”: an off-shoot project of Atlantic Vernacular.
Craft NB collaborated with Fundy National Park on the special “Fundy Project” where they invited a number Atlantic Vernacular poets and artists on an excursion. There, participants took part in a series of interactive experiences along the shore and park trails–– All of which were facilitated by Dan Sinclair.Join us September 7th to learn more about Atlantic Vernacular and the Fundy Project!
Check out the digital exhibition today:
Atlantic Vernacular is an online exhibition of contemporary craft paired with poetry of Atlantic Canada. Voices of the region include those of our first nations, and multiple mother tongues represented by participating artists and poets. This region is a den of material experimentation, integration of work with one’s environment, and honest confrontation with the challenges of making work in a conservative region of the country. After artworks were selected for exhibition, regional poets were invited to interpret the works through their own medium of verse.
Presented by the NB Filmmaker’s Co-op. Email info@nbfilmcoop.com to register!

ONLINE WORKSHOP
Workshop Description:
Whether you are looking to pitch to a producer, distributor, or financier, the first step is always finding out who is the best fit. That means researching who is in the business of aligning themselves with films that are similar to your own. The road to getting a film off the ground is never straight and narrow, especially if you’re starting at the bottom. What if you could pitch your film in precisely the right way to precisely the right people?
Join Will Beckett as he takes you through his process, tips, and tricks for creating a memorable proposal and pitch trailer.
Instructor’s Biography:
Born in Nova Scotia, filmmaker/photographer Will Beckett is now based in Saint, New Brunswick. A graduate of the University of King’s College School of Journalism (BJh, 1996), Will brings a documentarian’s approach to his educational film projects. His NFB co-produced web documentary series, “Prehistoric PEI” (and its accompanying video blog), showcased Prince Edward Island’s little-known fossil history. His subsequent project, “In the Shallows: A Tale of Two Shipwrecks” garnered regional media attention for its innovative use of 360 Virtual Reality cameras to present a piece of Maritime history trapped beneath the waves just off PEI’s northern shores. Will’s upcoming projects will incorporate a mix of 2D and VR video as he delves into New Brunswick’s prehistoric mysteries.
Will has also worked as a crew member and actor in a variety of film and television productions. These include CTV’s “The Amazing Race Canada” (Seasons Two and Six), CBC’s “The Songs of Gene MacLellan” TV special, and “The Stats of Life” (Season One).
Wednesday, July 6, 2022, 7:00 p.m. to  8:00 p.m. online by the The New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op.
