An opportunity to tell stories and make film industry connections awaits attendees of a meeting tomorrow in Erin.
The inaugural film networking meeting will be held by Wellington Creates, a grassroots organization hoping to bring television and film productions local to Erin.
Neighbouring communities have become popular film locations, with smash hits like Schitt’s Creek and Murdoch Mysteries both filmed in and around Fergus/Elora area.
Erin has been the odd one out, but Wellington Creates Founder David Spencer believes it offers several rural locations that could make perfect sites for film. After a presentation at an Erin Mayor’s Breakfast, he received increased interest from those with suitable properties.
Spencer would like to see local youth gain more interest in film, so it can take off in Erin, a town he thinks has broad potential.
The meeting won’t be lacking industry experience, with several Toronto-area film school professors and a 35-year veteran of animation there sharing stories.
It will take place at the Erin Rural Commons from 10 AM to noon tomorrow morning.
