RBC Michelle Jackson Emerging Filmmaker Award is Allison White!

Katie — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 14:42:09 -0700

RBCThe RBC Michelle Jackson Emerging Filmmaker Award is a film prize established in memory of St. John's filmmaker Michelle Jackson, who passed away quite suddenly in 2008. Through the efforts of Michelle's friends, the St. John's International Women's Film Festival has brought together many industry players to make this Award significant and sufficient to create a six-minute film.

Allison is a graduate of Sheridan College's Film Production program. Since graduating, she has been working her way up the film ladder in the industry, including entry level positions on Republic of Doyle, Sherry White's feature Crackie, as well as programs for Best Boy Productions, the CBC and the NFB. Her proposed short film "decoloured" is about Albert, a colour-blind man who can see colour only when he is in the presence of his new friend Amber. The film will be shot over the summer and presented at this year's St. John's International Women's Film Festival (October 26-30, 2010).

The Award amounts to $13,500 in cash and about $27,500 in services. Industry partners that made this award possible are: RBC Foundation, CBC-St. John's, PS Atlantic, Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation, the law firm Stewart McKelvey, NIFCO, KODAK Canada Inc., Deluxe Toronto, script services-Gail Collins, Powerpost, and the Atlantic Film Festival. The Festival would also like to acknowledge the many people who contributed to the Michelle Jackson Emerging Filmmaker Fund, a foundation established as a means for individuals and companies to donate to the emerging filmmaker cause.

Check out the new RBC Michelle Jackson Emerging Filmmaker's Blog for all the info and updates on the award!
