Justine Backlund
English, Arts
B.F.A. (SFU), M.St. (Oxford)
Ms. Backlund is from BC’s Lower Mainland but has spent as many summers as she can remember exploring coastal waters by sailboat. She completed her B.F.A. at Simon Fraser University, receiving the Praxis Centre for Screenwriting Award for her final project. By her love of storytelling, Ms. Backlund was propelled to complete a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Oxford. She is most interested in the power writing has to connect us and hopes to share her love of language arts with her students. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, creative writing, reading, and cold-water swimming.
Film & Broadcast
Brentwood’s film and video programs provide students of all skill levels the opportunity to pursue their passion for the screen arts. Our diverse course offerings expose students to many different styles of video production, including short film and live broadcast. The Brentwood Filmmaking Program builds teams of highly-motivated content creators who work together to produce movies or web series.
Broadcast
Students will be a part of a dynamic broadcast team that will document—through video, podcasting, and livestreaming—the many activities that take place in the Brentwood community. Several different roles will be available, including but not limited to camera operator, editor, livestream producer, host, reporter, and announcer. Students will work with the instructor to schedule coverage of events throughout the school year. Students will need to demonstrate excellent time-management skills and will be required to complete assignments outside of class time. A computer (preferably Mac) will be required; video equipment will be provided by the School.
Film & Broadcast Facilities
Our West Coast climate provides the perfect setting for students to shoot films against the backdrop of Brentwood’s beautiful 90-acre oceanfront campus. In addition to the natural surroundings, our film and broadcast students have a fully equipped 960-sq. ft. sound stage with studio lights and a green screen at their disposal. Film students have access to cinema cameras, lights, audio equipment, and professional editing software. Our live broadcasts are produced from the media booth in the Eldon and Anne Foote Athletic Centre—a central hub and dedicated production space for remote cameras and audio feeds from across the campus.
