In honour of our 20 years we asked frequent Reelout contributor Jason Karman to choose 20 minutes of his work to screen for an audience followed by a 20 minute, moderated discussion and questions from the audience. We’re calling it 20/20 Visionaries and we hope you’ll spend the early part of your day spending an intimate time with an independent, Canadian media artist!
The Artist: JASON KARMAN
Jason Karman is a Vancouver-based screenwriter and director whose 16 short films have screened internationally at festivals including the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Whistler Film Festival, and Telefilm Canada’s Not Short on Talent at France’s Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival.
