A lu M n I P R O F I L E
Michael MacMillan, Artsci’78, is one of
Canada’s most successful film and
television producers.
He suggests that career prospects for
recent graduates are better than ever.
Artists must distinguish themselves
through their creativity, imagination and talent on one
hand, and marketing skills to draw attention to their work.
MacMillan also notes that the Internet and global trade
has forced his industry, and those working in it, to adopt
an international focus and attitude. All of these factors
lead to huge opportunities.
“If I were 22 years old,” says MacMillan, “I’d say, ‘Wow! That is
a huge sandbox to play in!’
