Dianne Ouellette’s film makes final list for Slamdance Film Festival going back to the web page to check to see if it was real. I remember I had goose bumps and my adrenalin was going.” Slamdance was created by a group of filmmakers who didn’t like that the Sundance Film Festival rejected their films 20 years ago. Slamdance takes place the same time as Sundance in Park City, Utah. Both film festivals attract some of the finest filmmakers in the world. “I’ve been screened at many film festivals around the world over the years, but I have never had a film screened in Park City. I remember when I was in film school; Sundance was the festival to get into, after all it was founded by Robert Redford. Since the dream of Sundance has been unattainable, Slamdance is perfect for me. It’s like I’m getting payback for all the years of being rejected by Sundance,” says Ouellette who is the Research Support and Media Lab Manager at the University of Regina’s Faculty of Media, Art and Performance (formerly the Faculty of Fine Arts). The film is a tribute to Dianne’s mother, Judy Feduk, who passed away in 2013 following a battle with lung cancer. Dianne’s family moved from Melville to Carlyle in 1984, where Dianne completed high school. Her mother owned, Mi Lady Fashions, on Main Street, Carlyle for 20 years. Dianne’s father, Dennis Feduk, who still resides in Carlyle, is well known for his baking. “I came up with an idea after observing that my animals were always surrounding my mother with love when she was really sick. I shot the film in an hour,” says Ouellette. The super 8-filmmaking genre has made a big comeback recently.
