When sleeping women wake, mountains move: #IdleNoMore

Posted by Cara Mumford on Friday, December 28, 2012, In : "When It Rains" 
As a Canadian who believes in democracy, I am beyond frustrated by Harper and his cronies running rough shod over our political system. When you have a majority government, you have a responsibility to govern for ALL of the people, not just the constituents who voted for you. But Harper's Conservatives apparently feel no such responsibility. As Elizabeth May said, "No previous Privy Council in the history of this country has ever equated an amendment to a bill between first reading and royal ...

Thanks to my supporters... here comes the Rain!

Posted by Cara Mumford on Friday, September 7, 2012, In : "When It Rains" 
I'm currently working on post-production for "When It Rains," my film for the Stolen Sisters Digital Initiative. I am honoured that the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival commissioned this film, and grateful to the Ontario Arts Council for funding, but I would not be able to complete this film without the generous support of Chris Krieger, Janice Krieger, Bob Mumford, Darmody Mumford and Andrea Wiwchar. So thank you all! (Production still featuring dancer Sandra Lamouche.)

Weekend Filming

Posted by Cara Mumford on Tuesday, July 3, 2012, In : "When It Rains" 
We filmed the Toronto portion of "When It Rains" this weekend in graffiti alley. I ended up with a great crew and will have some amazing footage! I also learned many lessons along the way, as with every film I make. The main lesson I learned on this one is to bring people on board earlier in the process, especially the Director of Photography. I wish I'd known Elisa Iannacone, my DP, back when I was grant writing for the film. Same thing with Production Manager Jeryn Daly. As it is, only Lead...

Pinterest as a Tool for Filmmakers

Posted by Cara Mumford on Friday, March 30, 2012, In : "When It Rains" 
I recently read Sheri Candler's post about Using Pinterest as a tool for your film marketing, and was intrigued. Not that I need another networking site, but the idea that it's based on visuals was appealing since filmmaking is a visual medium. After checking out the site ever so briefly, I asked for, and received, my invitation to Pinterest and quickly started pinning. It's fun... and a little addictive!

While I have ended up setting up some boards reflecting my personal tastes (purple claw f...

Reflecting Lives: New Works from Aboriginal Women

Posted by Cara Mumford on Sunday, March 11, 2012, In : "December 6" 
Now that I’ve started a blog on this website (with weekly updates when my computer doesn't crash), I’ve decided to merge the blogspot blogs that I set up for each of my festival films with this one. I might eventually migrate some of the more pertinent posts over here, as well, but in the meantime…  

My short film, "December 6," will be screening at "Reflecting Lives: New Works from Aboriginal Women," a partnership between the Winnipeg Cinematheque, Urban Shaman Gallery and imagineNATIVE...
