Star System & Digital Reach

Hosted by Byron Martin

How can we promote and showcase homegrown talent? How can we overcome the limits of the Canadian “Star System” and go global? Can Canadian comedians actually monetize content online? Is the digital community our farm system for new talent?

Workshop Sponsor

Star System & Digital Reach

We’ll discuss whether hype and monetization online can make the limitations of exposure and earnings for Canadians a thing of the past. Learn about the benefits and costs of livestreaming shows for in-person and online audiences simultaneously, then having content to edit and stream at a later date. Find out how emerging artists can be mentored in places that aren’t major cities. Plus, are you more worried about what Bill C-11 (aka The Online Streaming Act) means for you, or about trying to understand it?
