Edmonton had a big presence at Yorkton Film Festival last weekend. Here are the highlights ⬇️

🏆 Crip Trip - Episode #3: Trippin' Through the Prairies won the Best Lifestyle film award
🏆 David Baron won Outstanding Colour Grading for his work on Making Beauty

Huge congratulations to these local creators for their exceptional work and earning recognition on a national stage.

🎙️ Film Commissioner Dorian Rowe was a panelist for Stronger Together: Cracking the Code on Interprovincial Coproduction, a discussion highlighting what's keeping Canadian producers from working across provincial borders and what it's going to take to fix it. Joining the discussion were Erin Dean (Creative Saskatchewan), Lynne Skromeda (Manitoba Film & Music), Huw Eirug (Nunavut Film), and Andrew Williamson (Telefilm Canada), moderated by Robert Hardy (ScreenSask).

Thanks to the YFF team for putting together a great event.

Edmonton's video game industry just got a major new stage.

This June, the North American Games Industry Summit (NAGIS) Powered by Xsolla is making its Edmonton debut alongside Game Con Canada. We broke down what this means for local studios, developers, and the city's growing creative economy.

COG Studios started as a university project. Two years later, they're heading to Gamescom for the second time. 🎮

After getting their start through Edmonton Screen's Trailhead Program, the team has grown into a Summit Push recipient, showcasing their new game, Our Eyes See No Evil, at Game Con Canada and North American Games Industry Summit (NAGIS) in Edmonton this June, then returning to Gamescom in Germany in August.

"Trailhead gave us a pathway from being a student project to becoming a true studio. It's the reason COG exists." - Dave Goel, Co-Founder, COG Studios

Dave shares the full story in our most recent Impact Story.
