I loved TMAC's Virtual Conference "Together Towards Tomorrow"
Hi everyone:
I had a blast at the Travel Media Association of Canada's Virtual Conference "Together Towards Tomorrow".
It was so informative and the networking was excellent.
A big part of our discussions were about how we can #RestartTourism in a responsible way.
Thank you World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) for presenting at the conference and to all the colleagues I met with.
I am planning new episodes of #SeeingCanada now and can’t wait to start filming when it’s safe to do so.
Cheers,
Brandy
It's been great attending Realscreen Live this week.
Hi everyone:
It's been great attending Realscreen Live this week.
As a filmmaker networking and staying connected with the industry is keeping me inspired throughout this strange time.
Here's a screen grab from our "Coffee With Ruby Kuraishe, the Commissioning Editor of Entertainment at the BBC."
Ruby was so warm and funny and we learned what the BBC channels are looking for. We connected from all across the world and chatted about where we are in our creative process through this pandemic.
RealScreen Live is a conference "Connecting the unscripted and
non-fiction entertainment community online."

I am part of Cohort 2 of the #BANFFSpark Accelerator for Women in the Business of Media.

"Breaking Loneliness" on CBC's list of “Real talk about mental illness: 8 docs to watch.”
Thank you CBC for adding filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk’s documentary Breaking Loneliness to your list of “Real talk about mental illness: 8 docs to watch.”
“One of five Canadians will be diagnosed with mental illness. Here are some of their stories...
Being lonely in a world of people has sometimes been labelled an epidemic in modern society. "I think it's really important people are not embarrassed to admit they are lonely. I think there's a taboo we don't want to say we're lonely," says filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk.
According to Yanchyk, loneliness is a social epidemic impacting all age groups around the world, a problem that is now exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. She talks to real people who are finding ways to escape loneliness and social isolation by creating their own communities.”
