It is just under one week until and the first ever honours.

My first concert promotion company was all women/identifying. This was over 20 years ago. Even at that (*young*) age I knew the value that women brought to our industry BUT saw the gaps in equality and opportunity.

My entire career I have pushed for women to be seen as equals in the music industry and get the jobs, pay and recognition they deserve. I am humbled and honoured to be nominated and on this long list. I hope these honours grow with more recognition and support over time. Hoping to see some of you next week at the honours ceremony at the female championed venue .
Big congrats to all my fellow nominees. Too many of you to squeak into this post. 🫶🏻

I (and the jives crew) have had the pleasure of working on 5 with .

Below is a repost from the family about this tragic loss.
>>
The SWIFF team and the extended SWIFF family are shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of our Founder and Executive Director, Ravi Srinivasan. We offer our deepest condolences and join in mourning with his family, many treasured friends, the Sarnia-Lambton and Toronto communities, the Canadian film and music communities, and beyond.

Ravi worked tirelessly to bring films and music he loved to Sarnia. It was a dream of his to create a hometown film festival that would offer cultural exposure, experiences, and opportunities that he had wished he had when he was young. Almost singlehandedly, Ravi made SWIFF a reality—and a success—in 2015. The festival grew from there and has been one of the most beloved cultural events in the region year in and year out. It is a monumentally significant achievement that has spread love, joy, inspiration for over eight years. And yet SWIFF is only a small fraction of the legacy of a man who touched so many lives in his personal life—if you knew Ravi, you loved Ravi, simple as that—and whose impact on film culture was felt across his work with TIFF, Hot Docs, and Reel Canada and his passionate advocacy for filmmakers across the country and around the world.

Ravi’s life was all about sharing his love and what he loved with everyone in his orbit. He brought people and communities together, elevated them with his spirit, and helped to make other’s dreams come true.

Our lives were all better for having him in it. Ravi, we were so lucky to know you.

It’s all about the team.
70% of this team are returning.
Which is an impressive feat with annual events. 💪🏻
A combo of leadership and teamwork I think is why these humans keep coming back. Regardless, I’m grateful for the returning and the new folks.
crew thanks for crushing swiff 8!
Thanks for always having us be your logistic humans.
