PWAC MEMBERS EVENT
From Script to Screen: Writing for Documentary Films
Wednesday, April 10th
In anticipation of the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, running from April 25th to May 5th, PWAC Toronto is honoured to present an evening with award-winning documentary filmmaker Kevin McMahon, vice-president, creative, for Toronto-based Primitive Entertainment Inc.
Kevin will screen segments from three of the 17 films he has written and directed for Primitive Entertainment, and will discuss how writing can make or break a documentary. Kevin’s talk will be followed by a Q&A session. Book early for this event: registration is limited to 20, and is open to PWAC members only.
Kevin McMahon: Kevin has written and directed 17 films for Primitive Entertainment, eight of them feature-length. He also provides creative guidance for the development and production of the company’s other film and television projects.
With an abiding interest in our relationship with nature, technology and the Canadian landscape, Kevin has made films about Niagara Falls, nuclear weapons, cod fishing, the Great Lakes, the rebirth of the Haida and Inuit First Nations and the seer Marshall McLuhan. He is a frequent guest in film education classes and devotes a lot of energy to mentoring younger filmmakers, both informally and through various documentary organizations.
