Darcy Waite
Comedy writer and producer Darcy Waite shares the highs and lows of being a comedian, from bombing a stand-up gig to becoming the hilarious, energetic host of APTN’s That’s AWSM!
Darcy addresses the importance of diversity on set, and the perspective he brings to his role as a board member with the Canadian Media Producers Association.
“Find what drives you, once you find that – it doesn’t matter if it gets hard. It’s always fun.”
Darcy's feature film, Ruthless Souls - produced through the Telefilm Talent to Watch program - premiered at imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in 2019 and was part of Telefilm’s Canadian Perspectives Program in Berlinale in 2020.
