2018 CCE Holiday Parties Across Canada:
This week the CCE held three Holiday Parties (unfortunately due to province wide power outages, we had to postpone our Halifax Event).
On Wednesday night Edmonton and Vancouver held their events. By all accounts everyone had a great time!
Last night Toronto held its Holiday Social and it was hosted by Eggplant Picture and Sound. Over 70 were in attendance.
Thank you to Eggplant for being wonderful hosts!

Starting his career in 1970, master documentary editor Steve Weslak, CCE, remembers that working in the tiny film community of the era felt more like being in a garage rock band, rather than the mature industry that we have today. Almost five decades later he is still a vital part of the documentary scene, editing feature docs for HBO, BBC, PBS, NFB and all the major Canadian broadcasters. His editing assignments on international co-productions have taken him around the world, from Sydney, Australia to London, England. Along the way he’s been privileged to work with many outstanding directors such as Ric Bienstock, Alex Gibney, Larry Weinstein and Barbara Willis Sweete.
Mairin (also known as Mo) was born in England and came to Canada in 1969 with her young family. She studied film in the Faculty of Fine Arts at York University and then worked professionally in the burgeoning film and television industry as a picture editor, story editor, post production supervisor and teacher.
