In the show we play step sisters, this photo was taken on one of the first days meeting each other.
We thought it was fitting as we filmed in the middle of covid which was a very interesting experience!
Follow along with @shedoesthecity story’s to hear about the show, what it was like filming during covid and to take a peek into our lives on a classic lockdown day :) @marblemediaofficial

“It’s important for Indigenous people to be in

“It’s important for Indigenous people to be included in the telling of our own stories because it brings authenticity, and lets us show the many different ways there are to be Indigenous. So often we’ve only seen tragic Indigenous stories on screen – but what about funny stories, love stories, or dramatic stories not based in tragedy – those should be brought to the screen and celebrated too." LISTEN to what @kdeveryjacobs has to say. ☝️

@kdeveryjacobs (Blood Quantum, Taika Waititi/FX’s Reservation Dogs), is one of the ambassadors for the powerful new @made_nous #seekmore campaign that calls for forever change in Canadian Film + TV. The mission of #SeekMore is to encourage Canadians to seek out creators and content from a wide array of racial backgrounds and lived experiences, reflecting the vast and varied storytellers shaping television, film and gaming in Canada. It’s a necessary shift if homegrown entertainment is to remain relevant and accurately reflect our population. But also, why wouldn’t one want to seek more???? It will only ever make storytelling stronger.
.

Ambassadors also supporting the campaign include @amandabrugel (#TheHandmaidTale), @kaniehtiio (Barkskins, #Letterkenny), @maitreyiramakrishnan (Never Have I Ever) @drewraytanner (#Riverdale, Work It), @shamieranderson (Stowaway, Bruised), @simuliu (#KimsConvenience, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) to name a few! 👏👏👏👏👏
