    Bonnie Thompson: Prolific Producer

    Bonnie Thompson has over 80 producer credits. She worked for more than three decades at the National Film Board of Canada out of the north west studio in Edmonton. And as a creative producer, she has been the third eye behind projects like the interactive documentary Bear 71.


    She was one of the producers on the feature documentary Angry Inuk, and she also was a producer on the Oscar-nominated animated short Wild Life.


    Producing is in Bonnie’s blood. Even though she’s now retired from the National Film Board, she is still actively producing films, and helping young Alberta filmmakers find their way in the industry.

    In this episode:

    We hear about Bonnie’s start in the film industry, her experiences working on her first project, and some of the things she’s learned from working with others. Next, we hear about her experiences producing the Oscar-nominated animated short Wild Life, the role and importance of the producer, and Bonnie’s advice for emerging producers. Finally, we finish off with Bonnie’s three tips for starting out in the industry.
