It is difficult to give full tribute for this woman’s contribution to the nurturing of filmmakers in this province.  It would take a novel to do her justice.

When equipment malfunctions, she arrives at midnight with a cool head and a sharp wit to help find a solution. When fundraising gets difficult, she has ideas. When energy gets low, she has tea. When your math doesn’t make sense, she has the discerning eye. For boosting self-confidence with well-timed compliments or gently and firmly correcting paperwork mistakes, she can always be counted on. When bartending for your fundraiser, or fulfilling the interdisciplinary mandate of your festival with a sultry solo rendition of a Vince Gill song, or even holding your hand through piecing your lost footage back together, she goes beyond the call of duty. She guides and troubleshoots the whole process and is still there to celebrate after the credits roll. We adore her for her commitment and confidence in our artistic exploration.
