This week's Reel Career Profile is Margarita Vailas!Margarita Vailas was born in Winnipeg to a Greek father and Canadian mother. She grew up moving between Winnipeg and Greece every three years. In 1999, her parents decided to stop moving so much after a 6.7 Richter earthquake took down her high school. For years, she had wanted to be a dentist and had been accepted into university to pursue that career, but at the last minute, she decided to do something more creative and artistic.At 28, she decided to move back to Winnipeg and have a fresh start, so as soon as she got back, she applied to IATSE 856 as a permittee. Over the next couple of years, she started working as an instructor at an esthetics college until she got more consistent work in film and became a full member of the union in early 2018. Why is learning and training important?Our industry is evolving and changing all the time and in every way. I’m constantly trying to keep up with new programs, the way makeup reads on screen, different types of makeup and skin care and how it can affect my job. I also take mini courses or listen to podcasts and read books on pre and post production. How can our job be done more easily, or how can it make me be the person for the job? Learning new and smarter ways to work will never end and is very important. Read Margarita's full profile here: filmtraining.mb.ca/reel-career-profile-series-margarita-vailas/ See MoreSee Less
