b'Any filmmaker will tell you that the journey to getting their first feature made is full of ups and downs. But what exactly are the biggest challenges facing aspiring filmmakers and how can we make things easier and more accessible for future generations? To learn more, Rob, and special guest host Chandler Levack, sit down with director Ashley McKenzie, whose debut film \\u2018Werewolf\\u2019 garnered a tonne of attention and admiration at last year\\u2019s TIFF. Ashley talks about her long path to getting \\u2018Werewolf\\u2019 made (5:40), why she considers her films \\u201ctermite art\\u201d (13:25), and why young filmmakers need to question the systems in place and find a method that works for them (15:50). She also explains why she thinks female filmmakers have more to prove than their male peers (21:30), why she doesn\\u2019t feel at a disadvantage working out of Cape Breton Island (29:30), and why, despite \\u2018Werewolf\\u2019s\\u2019 success, she\\u2019s not confident that making her second film will be an easier road (30:40) Ashley is currently an ambassador for TIFF\\u2019s Share Her Journey campaign, a five year initiative prioritizing gender parity within the film industry.
