I went to Earl Haig 2005-2009 and though I wasn't directly involved with Screen Arts (now Film Arts), I hugely benefited from the skills and resources that program brought to our school and our students. Working on the theatre shows and assemblies as a technician, Screen Arts students would make video content, advertisements for school events and document making of our school shows, (which I still watch to this day) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbZzMQ-rokE
Please protect this program because the valuable skills I gained just by being adjacent to it, still help me in my career as a live events technician today.
Sally ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramI’m attending the best film school in the United States, and recently had the opportunity to study film abroad in Europe only because I got my start to film at this school. It is very rare to get an opportunity to study the basics of film at high school, and having the opportunity early on, and for such an affordable rate, is extremely vital to a fast moving industry like ours. Keep the arts alive, keep film alive, especially in this digital era where we are seeing that video and film is not only an art form but capable of making change. If it isn’t for us so many stories would go untold.
Ashley ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramIn these days of the 7 second commercial and all the social media careers out there, FILM ARTS is an art that needs to be cultivated! The rest of the Arts are best promoted and preserved by talented photographers and film makers that this program has turned out for 20+ years!
Over my years at Earl Haig Claude Watson Arts Program, I was frequently consulted and included in some student films, and it was an honour and a pleasure to see the progression of the grade 9's to talented creators by the time they graduated and often went on to a variety of post secondary programs where they excelled at their craft.
Indeed, as my role as a background performer in a vast number of productions, many times, I have encountered Film Arts Grads on the set of productions big and small!
Anybody can take out a phone and shoot a snapshot, or shoot a quick bit of video, but it takes a trained eye to create the art that leaves audiences laughing, crying, and inspired to go out and make the world a better place.
Many people, far more than you see on screen in any production are behind the scenes to make the magic come alive, and many of those professions have been nurtured and cultivated at Claude Watson in the Film Arts wing of the program.
Indeed, many grads go forth and soar into the industry thanks to what they learned while going to school at Earl Haig, one of many high schools within the Toronto District School Board.
David ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramThe Film Arts Program through Claude Watson Arts at Earl Haig is a vital part of the vibrant arts community in Ontario and the program directly supports Canada's film and television industries by training fresh voices as an early start to contribute creatively and successfully to industry standards. The loss of the program would be an immeasurable blow to Canada's future in the creative spaces of film and television.
Brittany ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramI attended the Claude Watson Film Arts Program from 2012-2016. My classes, teachers and fellow students during this time were instrumental in fostering my dreams of becoming a full-time artist and filmmaker. My early exposure to the technical and theoretical components of the craft got me into the University of British Columbia's BFA Film Production Program which launched my editorial career in Vancouver, BC. Almost a decade out from the start of my time at Earl Haig, I've edited short and feature length films that have premiered at major film festivals, and are currently distributed across several Canadian networks. I wouldn't be where I am without Film Arts, and I don't want to see a program that's cultivated so many talented and successful filmmakers to go under.
Anna ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramI attended Screen Arts, now known as Film Arts, from 2006-2010. As someone who thought they might be better served by going into Drama or Music at the time, having this stream was such an exciting and new prospect. It deepened my love for film, allowed me to be part of an amazing art school and collaborate with not just my colleagues in the program, but so many people among all the other programs, and led me to the career and life I have today. Losing this incredibly unique program, especially in a world that is so media oriented, is baffling and heartbreaking. No arts programs should ever be carelessly disposed of, and definitely not one that shaped my experience at high school, and beyond!
Mitchell ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramWe need to be investing in the arts, not detracting from them. I was a graduate of the drama program in 2016, but I always wished I had gotten more involved in film arts as my career has taken on more mediums than I could have imagined. This program is beneficial to the school and community at large NOW and BEYOND.
Saskia ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramWhen we fail to provide the next generation with opportunities to learn the crafts of storytelling, we deprive them of the tools to interpret stories altogether, the tools to think critically about the historical and political contexts of the worlds they live in, and the tools necessary to demonstrate empathy towards lived experiences separate from their own. The result is that we devalue the possibilities of their own narratives and their capacities to dream big and imagine, for if we cannot crystallize our thinking into a story, we cannot recognize our beginnings, middles and ends, nor the resolutions hard earned by overcoming conflict. To deprive children of arts training is to facilitate the festering of expressive impulses without positive and constructive outlet. To deprive children of arts training is to sabotage the acquisition of a whole generation's confidence by depriving them of the birthright of competency.
Benjamin ha apoyado: Save the Claude Watson Film Arts ProgramMy time had earl haig without a doubt Jumpstarted my current career in film and television. I've worked on major international television shows as well as various features films, commercials and music videos. Currently, I run a production company with my business partner, who I met in grade 9 film at Earl Haig. Content creation is the future and it is an absolute shame to take this program away from young creative minds.
