Producing Short Drama:
If I had known then what I know now....
with Rachel Grantham

Short drama is a challenging form of storytelling. Although a necessary step to fictional feature filmmaking, short drama is under-supported compared to documentary and animation projects, and the route to success more circuitous.

Rachel Grantham began producing short films in 1999, beginning with Lost Cabin: Jack London's home in the Klondike, which she also co-wrote and co-directed with Richard Lawrence. Specializing in Yukon subjects, she has completed five independent shorts and co-produced with CBC North on a classical music video for national broadcast. smallfilm is her third foray into producing short drama, which will be broadcast by CBC-TV on Canadian Reflections in 2008.
