Meet three influential Canadian screenwriters who are also producers, directors and actors of some of our favourite films and shows - cheers Elan Mastai, Mina Shum, and Cory Bowles - welcome to the fest! They touch on advice for emerging writers in Canada, taking their careers into the US, how obstacles are often self-imposed, tips on following your creative instincts, and more.

Big thanks to Karen Walton of inkCanada for helping to put this panel together.
