Originally from New York and Virginia, and now based in Hong Kong, Jennifer Thym followed her childhood dream to make film—leaving behind a successful career in the financial banking industry, and a previous life as a lawyer. Jennifer will be sharing her telling the story of creating this beautifully shot episodic series, from writing the script and using the RED One digital HD camera, to raising the money and rethinking the business plan in today's economy. She will also share her personal perspective on the business model for Asian American and Asian Canadian filmmakers. Determined to create highly entertaining films that "make meaning" and showcase a breadth of Asian characters, Jennifer's passion for filmmaking will inspire you. For a synopsis of LUMINA, see Matthew Tsang's post on SchemaMag.ca.

+ This workshop is preceded by a special screening of films (5:00 PM - 6:00 PM) from Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon 2008, presented by the Asian Canadian Cultural Association (UBC), in partnership with the Vancouver Asian Film Festival.
