Thanks to everyone who came out to the Joy Awards Brunch! I wanted to say something about the great feeling of community that is felt there every year, but it’s hard to put into words. This program was born in the film community and it’s very nature is derived from the people who are the community. It’s gratifying to see the support and faith that is extended to the winners and the commitment of the people who represent the award’s partner organizations. So thanks and all the best to all of you in Atlantic Canada who make this a great place not only to make films, but to be a filmmaker at any level.
