Documentary on Toronto Pagans

Proclaimed by: Kate
Proclaimed from: Toronto, Ontario

Proclamation...  Hello,
I'm a second year film student at York University, and at the end of this year, I will be applying for a place in the documentary program. In the past, I have worked in both directorial and editing roles, both in school and for outside productions. One of my first documentaries, which I both directed and edited was featured at the Future Filmmakers Festival, part of the Chicago International Film Festival.
I've identified as an Eclectic Pagan for about 5 years, (7 or 8 if you count my introduction to Silver Ravenwolf, but I don't) although I've only recently come out of the broom closet.
There are many reasons why I am interested in making this documentary, but I have two main reasons. The first is that I am very passionate about this subject, as I am a part of the community I am making this about. The second is that I believe that the bad press Pagans often receive can only be countered by taking control of the way we are portrayed to the public. That has been a big part of my motivation to get involved with filmmaking.
On March 4, I'm going to pitch a short (5-10 minute) documentary about Paganism, focusing on Pagans in Toronto (because that's where I live, and I don't have a car) . If it is accepted, the shooting dates would be between the 18th and the 24th of March.
I am looking for anyone who is interested in being interviewed for the film. I'm well aware of the concerns many Pagans have in dealing with the media, and I will be available in the next few weeks to meet with or speak to anyone who is considering participating. If you have any questions or if you are interested, you can email me at kleo8@yorku.ca.
Blessed be and thank you, Katie Leonard
PS. I have some examples of my work both as a director and as an editor, which I will gladly email to anyone who is considering this. (Or I guess anyone who isn't and just wants to see some short films :-) )
