BRINGING FOCUS
TO DIGITAL MEDIA
WITH MAX FRASER
at YUKON SOVA, 3rd and Queen
It’s a digital world, and for many filmmakers, the picture is blurry
and needs focus.
In this workshop Whitehorse screen producer Max Fraser will
de-mystify this new medium: we look at funding options as well
as creative, production and distribution aspects, using Max’s most
recent project as a case study that participants will get to try
out.
Max’s production company Remembrance Films is about to release
“Bond of Strangers – The OpHusky Digital Experience,” which is
a web-based companion to his 2015 documentary film “Bond of
Strangers – The Operation Husky Story.”
The workshop will be divided into three parts. First, the process
of the Canada Media Fund and other funding agencies. Second, a
review of what is meant by a “Digital Media Component” with a
look at selected examples. Third, participants will be among the first
people in the whole world to try out The OpHusky Digital Experience
and provide feedback. Bring your smart phone, touch screen tablet
or laptop and be prepared to enter the digital world.
Max Fraser is an independent Yukon filmmaker who is presently
producing his first Digital Media Component, called “Bond of
Strangers – The OpHusky Digital Experience.” Fraser recently
completed two new television productions with financing from the
Canada Media Fund, Yukon Film and other financing.
