Description

Dr. Joseph Recupero, Director, Sport Media Program, Assistant Professor, Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada "The Sport Project" is a creative documentary film that explores culture, identity, equity, diversity, and inclusion in sport. The genesis for the project started as an assignment where RTA Sport Media students wrote about their first recollections of watching sports on television: Who were they with? What did they watch? How has that changed over time? The students' short essays spoke about multiculturalism, diversity, women in sport, etc. RTA Students give straight to camera recollections of how sport has been a part of their life and now a part of their creative practice as they study and work in the industry. RTA students appear in all the roles on camera and comprised all of the behind the scenes production roles as well on this creative film and experiential learning opportunity outside the classroom. "The Sport Project" was made possible through an FCAD SRC Small Project Grant.
