Leanne Rae Podavin (Thirteen Ghosts, X2, X-files, Supernatural) took some time out of her day to show the kids at the academy what SFX makeup is all about! With a bit of hands-on stuff after her lesson, the academy kids are looking quite creepy for Halloween! Thank you Leanne!
Spring Break Bootcamp March 13 -17
In just 5 days, students can develop crucial film skills, collaborate in groups, and bring captivating stories to reality through camera techniques, lighting, and directing. They will act and film scenes from a self-created script, then view their completed work, and commemorate their accomplishment.

2018/2019 School Year Kicks Off
This year we want to begin the update with a warm welcome of the VFX academy into our Delta Film family! So far, we’ve already collaborated to create composites and ball animations with our newest instructor to our team Jim Hebb. We are so excited to expand our student’s learning into this huge industry in our city under the leadership of teacher coordinator Braeden Saucy. We welcome back Cameron Bancroft as the primary instructor at the Film Acting Academy as well as Sandra Almond, Jason Mills and Garnet Campbell for the Film Production Academy. I am still here, but with a new name! Jennifer McKee is now how I am known and I am the Teacher Coordinator of the Delta Film Academy.
Already this year we have written new stories and soon to come are 30 individual 60-second films, monologue close-ups and 18 mask films. Stay tuned in our portfolio section to see a sampling of these projects and more!
A huge thank you Alex Zahara, Viviane McConkey, Bob Habros and alumni Yale Shi and Nathan Young for being our special guests the last couple months!

Kama Sood takes latest project from script to film
DAVE WILLIS / DELTA OPTIMIST
AUGUST 26, 2016 12:00 AM
Ladner’s Kama Sood loves the creativity and camaraderie that comes with filmmaking.
“You get to collaborate with people and come up with really cool visual art,” he says, noting each project is different.
“I just love the whole process of making a film, going from script to film.”
The 18-year-old’s latest project is titled My Name is Robin. The short film is a drama with a romance element and includes a cast of four.
Sood, a former Delta Film Production Academy student, says about half of the project was filmed in Ladner and that it’s currently in the editing process. He’s hoping to have it finished by December.
His friend Roberto Estrada came up with the story while Sood wrote the screenplay. Estrada, who was an international student at the academy last year, is a “big part of the movie,” Sood says.
Once finished it will be free to watch online (www.kamasood.com and Facebook).
Sood, who’ll soon be starting a motion picture arts program at Capilano University, says his goal is to be a writer and director in the film industry.
He’s already picked up awards for directing and cinematography at a pair of film festivals for young filmmakers with his previous short film Nirvana.
