Drama - the Rainy River District Festival of the Performing Arts

FRENCH DRAMA DIVISION
Carole O’Brien
Carole’s artistic background is fairly eclectic; a Fine arts honours degree in photography,
followed by independent studies in creative writing, theatre and philosophy, came together in
1992 when she made her first film. She has since authored many award winning short films,
both dramatic and experimental. Carole is also a recipient of the NSI Drama Prize, a graduate
of the Canadian Film Centre’s Director Residence Programme and of Women in the Director’s
chair - programs geared to deepening the many skills film directors must have: the ability to
work with actors, to animate a script and to create memorable images. Carole began her
exploration of film as a medium at the Winnipeg Film Group, an organization that gave her
many opportunities to share her knowledge as artist-in-residence and commissioned filmmaker.
Carole is fluent in both French and English, and she recently completed a Masters degree in
City Planning (MCP) (community planning), studies that have taught her how to see the world
with different eyes.
