I'm going back!!!!!!

I'll be working for these guys

I dont know that much about them but they made the Tommy Douglas story, the most important Canadian, the guy who invented universal healthcare in canada, so thats pretty big.

I cant believe I'm going back to canada.

At the start of this week it genuinely looked like I wasnt going to get an internship I'd been told by 4 companies that they had nothing in production from september to december. Out of bordem more than anything I decided to ring a few companies up and the guy said yes pretty much straight away.

Now all I have to do is book plane tickets!

I know I cant wait, I mean its amazing in the short term because I'll be back with my friends, living in canada and working on films (my three favourite things) but its a very real step towards imigration, all I have to do is not fuck up.

It's cool that it kinda just fell in your lap. Are you going to get to finish the comedy documentary you are working on? When are you going to Canada?

Its so awesome, I mean it didnt exactly fall in my lap I did work hard for it what with the resume, the covering letter a portfolio and the fact that I rung them from the UK but I wasnt really expecting to be offered something straight away I was expecting them to take more time to think about it (so in that sense it did fall in my lap).



As for the comedy documentary, that'll be shot and edited by May which I'm glad of.



I'm going back to canada around the last week of august, me and a friend might be going on a road trip to calgary to hang out and pick up another friend then head back to start the semester I'll probably start working a week after that. Then I'll be back home in december!

Haha I didn't mean that you didn't work hard to get it, just that it happened from an unexpected source and so quick.

gottcha well yeah then I agree it fell into my lap.



The only bad thing is that this time round I litterally dont have the money to travel, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.



I have to say I'm pretty digusted expedia, its supposed to be cheap.



If I book through expedia it will cost me £900 but if I book the flights seperatly and directly with the companies i'll be flying with its going to cost me £500.

what part of canada?

Regina sasketchewan, I know its not the most amazing place in the world but I'm fairly well established there, my friends are there, I have accomodation arranged at the university and the sasketchewan film industry is based there.



That and when it actually comes to applying for visa's it'll be easier to get into sk because so many people are leaving it.

I think people had been leaving Sask for a while, yeah, but I think people are starting to go back there, now. Especially since the cost of living in Alberta has been getting so ridiculous lately.



Good luck out here!

Hey sorry I was going to to email you and John about it, John was extremely helpful I'd been writing alot of resumes and he was the only person who told me it was fine, I was stuck in a rut constantly trying to perfect it, he got me out of that and made me send it off and ring people.



I couldnt of done it without him.
