Shane Pendergast hopes to
return to P.E.I. to make films.
“We have such awesome
history,” Pendergast said. “I could think of a million documentary ideas on
P.E.I.”
He studies film at York
University in Toronto. He grew up making short films and documentaries in
Tracadie Cross.
His latest film is about
John Bil, an Island restaurateur and family friend. The documentary will be
played at three East Coast film festivals.
Now’s a great time to be an
Island filmmaker. Pendergast was worried he’d have to choose either being a
filmmaker or living in the East Coast, he said.
“I’d like to make a go of it
on the East Coast for sure.”
Film PEI’s program, Film
4Ward, is great news. Especially the distinction between emerging and mid-career
filmmakers, Pendergast said.
“I’ll definitely try and
take advantage of it.”
