When you think about film, art and creativity, government policy probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. Make no mistake about it, our policy makers & politicians can crucially impact the art we make, who gets to make it, & the culture we consume. Good policy can create a thriving, diverse culture — & bad policy can destroy it. Mattea Roach joins Matt Hatfield, Haydn Wazelle, Karen Lam, & Dennis Heaton for an unforgettable LIVE podcast taping with the Vancouver International Film Festival at the Rio Threatre.

Bring It On was a pop culture juggernaut from the moment it somersaulted into multiplexes back in 2000. Audiences loved the saucy, sarcastic, scheming, and stuntin' squads battling for cheer supremacy at regionals, all leading up to that shining moment when the It of the title has been Brought and the cheer squads do their thing. More than two decades after that first film, the Bring It On 'verse continues with Bring It On: Cheer Or Die – and its director is none other than Vancouver filmmaker Karen Lam (Evangeline, The Curse of Willow Song). Bring It On: Cheer Or Die premiered on SyFy last October and is now available for free on Crave in Canada. The comedy slasher film takes some of the best qualities of the previous Bring It On Films – the quips, the flips, the regionals! – but this time, the Big Bad isn't another squad trying to steal their routines but a masked assailant who wants to end their lives in increasingly creative ways. In this boisterous and contemplative conversation, Karen Lam talks gateway horror, cheer camp, traveling with cats, and the joys and challenges of making a slasher pic in the Bring It On 'verse.

With the rate of periodontal disease in adults in excess of 50% and now with the added knowledge of the dangers of chronic inflammatory oral disease to systemic health, it is well past time to try a more comprehensive and proven approach.

Much of the work in filmmaker Karen Lam's filmography can be described as unsettling and weirdly empowering, and her latest film is all this and more. Karen's newest feature film is The Curse of Willow Song, and it's screening online and in-cinema this month as part of the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival. The Curse of Willow Song tells the story of Willow (played by Valerie Tian), a young woman recently released from prison who must choose between her dangerous but honest new life on the streets and her former gang life and the nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. Willow's gang life returns in the form of Dani, played by Elfina Luk, a real estate agent who invites Willow to serve as caretaker in a spooky warehouse – and it's in the warehouse where we see the true power of Willow's haunted mind.The Curse of Willow Song feels different than other Karen Lam films. There are references to systemic racism, in the form of a white parole officer played by Amanda Burke who can't figure out why Asian people give their kids names like Willow – as well as in a pointed and profound speech by Elfina's character, who states that the system is built on white people's terms; how they're happy when Asian people open greasy spoons and laundromats but show their racism when Asian Canadians succeed – or, as Dani says, “We didn't come here because we're stupid. We came here because we're smart.”In this entertaining and thoughtful interview, Karen Lam and Elfina Luk discuss the power and poignancy in this startlingly beautiful and terrifying film, which was named Best BC Film at #VIFF2020.

It's difficult to categorize actor David Lewis. Is he a comic actor? We've certainly seen him be funny: in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency; as Lance in Morning Show Mysteries; as the perplexed dad in half of the commercials that are filmed in Vancouver. But he's also an incredibly powerful dramatic actor, as evidenced by his performance in Unspeakable, Robert Cooper's gripping miniseries about Canada's tainted blood scandal. David has also done his fair share in the horror realm, from Karen Lam's creepy Evangeline to the most recent Child's Play film, in which he faced off with a Chucky doll driven mad by AI. In what YVR Screen Scene Podcast host Sabrina Furminger considers one of her favourite interviews of all time (no joke!), the Leo Award-winning actor reflects on his ability to jump between genres, why redheads are the butt of so many jokes, why Karen Lam wants to kill him in everything, as well as his wacky childhood, elements of which sound like they were written by Martin Scorsese.

Richard Harmon was born into a film family and grew up on Vancouver sets. He's been acting for 19 years now (a veteran of the business before he hits his 30s), and his filmography is populated by complicated characters with questionable morals and inner demons – characters like Julian in Continuum, Richard in Bates Motel, Jasper in The Killing, a serial killer frat boy in Karen Lam's exceedingly creepy Evangeline, Max in Van Helsing, conflicted photographer Jake in Woodland, and the role for which he's built a following around the world: that of John Murphy on The 100. Richard had only been hired for the pilot but there was something about him that made the producers eager for him to stick around, first as a recurring character, and then as full-time cast. As The 100 prepares to say goodbye at the end of its seventh season, Richard reflects on his time as Murphy – how he's changed as a human being since the pilot; whether he sees Murphy as a hero; how he feels about Emori and Luisa d'Oliveira – and where he hopes to go from here.

Karen Lam is a fearless and trailblazing maker of films that terrify and horrify. Her films include Evangeline, a feature about a naive college student who is brutalized by a gang of thrill-seeking killers and is then revived by an ancient demon spirit that empowers her with a blood-lust for vengeance – and the upcoming The Curse of Willow Song, which will bring the real-life horror show that's the Vancouver housing crisis into the horror genre. Earlier this year, Karen premiered her short film Sandra Oh, Inspiration at the 2019 Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Gala in Ottawa, where Sandra received the National Arts Centre Award. Karen's film featured actors from traditionally marginalized communities inhabiting roles in live action tableaus inspired by A Clockwork Orange, Carrie, Gone With the Wind, and Star Wars: A New Hope. In this fascinating and at times irreverent interview, Karen talks about making scary films, growing up metal and Asian in small-town Manitoba, Sandra Oh, and being a living, breathing contradiction.
