Brent Nurse

Brent has produced a number of commercial videos for various arts organizations around Kingston, such as the Skeleton Park Arts Festival, North of Princess Recording studios, etc. The interesting thing about Brent, however, is that he has produced a number of original creative films, written in collaboration with Steven Spencer. These films are an exercise in imagination, and it’s inspiring to be able to meet up with someone who can take a fantastical world that has been imagined and turn it into a viable creative and commercial product that is featured at local film festivals, and even distributed through itunes, Google Play, and through other mediums. This would play to the students’ interests both in Star Trek as a dramatised fantasy series and the production methods behind some video games.

Brent would be a fabulous mentor for a student who is more interested in the production and creative background of video and film. (Both of these mediums are used in the development of video games.) Brent could even show the student how he creates some of the special effects in his films. Ideally, it would be interesting to encourage the student to share any creative ideas she has with Brent to see if they could establish a more regular relationship where they discuss the possible creative process for bringing some those ideas to life.
