About the Instructors
REED MAKAYEV began his film career by fluke being hired as a Locations PA in 2004. He quickly made this work his primary focus and in 2005 began studying Film Production at Confederation College (Thunder Bay). After graduating he worked entry-level positions in many departments including Lighting, Grip, and Make-Up Special Effects before deciding to become an Assistant Director. Now, twelve years later, Reed works mostly as a 2nd AD and as of this year has been elected Vice-Chair of the Director’s Guild of Canada – Manitoba District Council.
Film Training Manitoba is committed to creating an inclusive and healthy workplace where participants, instructors, and staff are treated with dignity and respect. We will not tolerate any forms of harassment and reserve the right to remove any patron creating an unsafe environment.
SCOTT MARTIN is a member of IATSE 856 and has been a film industry professional working in grip departments for almost ten years. He’s used his expertise to help fellow filmmakers achieve the lighting and camera set ups needed to realize their projects — including major motion pictures like Aloft starring Jennifer Connelly. He got into the industry partially through an internship facilitated at Film Training Manitoba. Scott proves that if you put in the work, you can achieve a successful career in the province’s film industry
