Welcome to the season finale of The Crew Up North Podcast! I thought it would be fun to wrap up season one (and 2024) by putting together a Best Of clips episode! I’ve had some amazing guests on and they’ve all been so wonderfully open and gracious with their time and conversations. They’ve given us a glimpse into their film careers with a ton of information, tips, stories, and of course, humour. I couldn’t be more grateful to them for being part of season one.

Speaking of crew, I can’t close the season off without saying a BIG thank you to my own crew: Carter Belanger at Landis Lake Films and Nathaniel Lachance at NCL Media. The show literally could not have gone on without them. I have received so many positive comments about the quality of the show, and the past 6 episodes would not have been remotely the same without their expertise. Thank you, guys!

I also would like to say a dinosaur-sized thank you to Port North Bay who have graciously sponsored the space for EVERY episode of the podcast. They are not only an amazing spot, but they really do support local entrepreneurs in this area.

Last but not least, HUGE thanks to all of YOU from the bottom of my heart for watching, listening and sharing each of these episodes. It really does mean so much to me. The podcast is ultimately for you, and I’m so happy you have been enjoying it thus far! You guys are the best!

Now onto the show! From the Most Unique Treat to the Best Insults and the Most Memorable Moment, here are the Top 10 Clips of season one! Enjoy!! And I'll see you back here for season two!

So…. The dog ate my podcast. No but like, for real. Hubert the hound dog ate the SD card with the original version of this episode, so here we are for round two (and hopefully it’s less tasty)! Northern actor Daren Sullivan was kind enough to join TCUN and host Jennifer Tocheri twice to discuss his stumble into the film world that led to his second career. As a seasoned background performer, Daren leads us through the process of becoming a full union member, what the background community means to him, what the heck is a Stand In, and why he wore a speedo for Mark McKinney. Daren also gives a major shoutout to the hardworking crew in the area, and tells us about his up-and-coming acting projects!

I have known Daren for years and am lucky enough to call him a friend. He is, in my opinion, a major reason the background community is closely connected. He's been the initiator of our group gatherings and BG Chat, all in the name of supporting each other.

I’m super excited to FINALLY bring you this episode! Enjoy, Crew!

Welcome back, Crew! Key Grip Tyler Emms joins TCUN and host Jennifer
Tocheri for episode 5 to talk about his 15-year career in the Northern Ontario
Film Industry! Snacking on appetizers from local spot, Moose’s Cookhouse, we
get into what exactly a grip is, how he works succinctly with the electric department and camera team to bring the cinematographer’s vision to life, and how he advanced to Key Grip very early in his career. Tyler also reveals some creative solutions that actually landed him IN a scene, how he stays resilient in hard times and the MAJOR bucket list show he was able to work on. Plus, after 15 years, how the body takes a toll.

Tyler is one of the crew members I’ve known the longest and I’m so excited to have him on the show! What did you enjoy most about this interview? Let me know in the comments!
