THE PEERS+PARTNERS+PLANET
Event Convenes in Vancouver!
As the epicenter of film and television production in Canada's most western province, Vancouver
was a natural to host the September 17 gathering presented by the LMGI, Directors Guild of
Canada BC, with additional support from the MPCI (Motion Picture Community Initiative) and the
environmental sustainability organization "Reel Green." The event explored cultural, environmental,
and creative issues of concern to filmmakers and the community at large.
One of the principal event organizers and host Ken Brooker/LMGI, who sits on the Board of both
the DGC BC and the LMGI, says the idea for what would become THE PEERS+PARTNERS+PLANET
event took shape during a lunch early in the spring of 2022 with DGC BC members Hans Dayal/
LMGI and Jina Johnson/LMGI. "We were reminiscing about the 2018 "Leaders on Location" event
and how we needed to build off of the successful partnership that was then launched between
the LMGI and the DGC in BC.
