Instructor's Biography: 
Stephanie Joline is an Indigenous writer, director, and producer based in K’jipuktuk/Halifax, Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia. Her Indigenous roots come from her mother, who is Inuit from Labrador; her father is French Acadian from the South shore of Nova Scotia. Her stories provoke conversation, break boundaries, and are deeply rooted in inclusivity and feminism. Her feature films include Night Blooms (2021), which was awarded 'Best Feature Film' at the 2022 NS Screen Awards, and Play Your Gender (2016), a documentary that pulls back the curtain on gender bias in the music industry. Stephanie has also directed for television (Words Matter CBC, Stream Me Amazon Prime, Farm Crime CBC, and Spirit Talker APTN). In 2022 she was awarded 'Best Nova Scotia Director' from WIFT-Atlantic and won her first Canadian Screen Award for director in the factual category for her work with APTN.
