This conversation originally premiered at CFF on Apr 2, 2021 and is co-presented by Inkcanada.

We’re thrilled to have three influential Canadian screenwriters who are also producers, directors and actors of some of our favourite films and shows. These three touch on their advice for emerging writers in Canada, taking their careers into the US, how obstacles are often self-imposed, and tips on following your creative instincts no matter what. So cheers -  Elan Mastai (This is Us, The F Word), Mina Shum (Meditation Park, Murdoch Mysteries), and Cory Bowles (Black Cop, Little Dog, Trailer Park Boys), welcome to the festival!
