Gerry Potter
Edmonton, Canada
I'm a filmmaker, writer, director and former longtime precarious contract teacher in Canadian universities.
I'm a professional director, writer and teacher in theatre and film. I taught, on contract, drama, film, writing and creativity for 27 years in three different Alberta universities. Just over two years ago I vowed to quit taking teaching contracts and began filming interviews with precarious contract faculty across Canada. I've made 8 films professionally, have written for Canada's National Film Board, am on the board of DOC Alberta, and was named to Edmonton's Cultural Hall of Fame.
