Great to see our Capilano University documentary students working with one of our amazing alumni Sherryl Sewepagaham who has been nominated for The JUNO Awards for her work with the Canadian Chamber Choir. She was at Cap U to work with our brilliant Choral Instructor Dr. Hussein Janmohamed. Thanks to the Capilano University Documentary Program students for crewing up so quickly to capture some of the performance and an interview with these luminaries.

Resharing a great linkedin post from the Capilano University Alumni
Motion and Picture Arts (MOPA) alumna Zanthia Bérubé continues to shine as one of Capilano University’s filmmaking success stories. From making the Dean’s and Merit Lists every semester to leading an international Coca-Cola Refreshing Films production as 1st AD, Zanthia has impressed industry professionals across the board. Since graduating, she’s joined Great Pacific Media / Thunderbird Entertainment, collaborated with Flirt Films Inc. on French script coverage, and captured major events for Promosa Management Inc. Zanthia remains a dedicated mentor and creative force, inspiring the next generation of CapU filmmakers with her passion, talent, and drive.

Congrats to the top six filmmaking teams selected for Crazy8s 2026, with a special shout-out to CapU alumni Ely Davidson (Director/Writer, Full Asian) and Morgan Abele (Co-Director/Writer) and Noah Rosellini (Producer) on Mould!

The Filmmakers in Indigenous Leadership & Management Business Affairs is coming soon...
