As a society, we have spent considerable time lamenting the brutal impact the coronavirus has had on specific sectors – and there’s a lot to lament. One key industry that has been reeling is the arts and entertainment industry. The television and movie production sectors in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal have been dormant since March. Theaters have been empty, and actors have nowhere to perform, let alone audition, and we’re all the poor, emotionally and intellectually, as a result.
In this episode, we’re joined by Toronto-based actor and writer Nicole Nwokolo. Tune in to hear Nicole discuss the current landscape of the film industry, along with systemic racism and navigating a career in a pandemic.
