Welcome to my Blog!
My name is Paige Cook and I am a 20 year old Canadian Creative! I have always been interested in art and creating, and decided to make a career out of it.
​
I was born in St. Catharines, Ontario and grew up making music videos, movie trailers, and fan edits. In high school, I was a part of student council as their media representative, school wide videographer, and the various tech courses offered to me, such as graphic design, photography, film, and broadcasting.
​
I have always dreamed of living in Toronto, for it's diversity, culture, and overall big city vibe. Choosing TMU was a no-brainer when I found out about the RTA Media Production program, and knew it was where I needed to be. Over the course of my last three years, I have changed focus from film to business, and found a love for bringing together the art of creating and the management of productions.
As I have moved away from being on set and actually creating, I have changed my focus to business, producing, and accounting. It seems strange for someone being in an art program but focusing on such a different aspect, but being in such a specific program makes me the perfect candidate because I know both backgrounds. Within my RTA courses, I have taken classes such as Business of Creative Media, Production Management, Business of Producing, and The Business of Art. These classes have taught me the foundational framework of finance, scheduling, and legal while on major Canadian film and tv projects. Combing this knowledge with minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation makes me a useful asset for many. I have the brain of a creative but the skills of a businesswoman, and bringing those two sections gives me a leg up in roles such as Showrunning, PR Management, and Marketing
