Cineworks Staff
Jürgen Beerwald - Equipment Coordinator
Jürgen Beerwald attended Simon Fraser University and has worked on countless films as a gaffer and grip. As the gate-keeper for all of Cineworks gear, he also performs routine maintenance and repairs and provides members with technical information and advice.
Megan Bodaly - Digital Media Coordinator
Megan is infatuated with all things film. With an unnatural attraction
to captured light, shadow and the smells of photographic chemicals,
she claims to be an editor but secretly is just trying to touch film
as often as possible. Megan comes to Cineworks with over 10 years
experience working in post production. With 5 years spent teaching at
Vancouver Film School, she is excited to be back in a position to help
film makers tell their stories.
Jennifer Cane - Programs Manager and Curator
Jennifer Cane is a graduate of the Master’s program in Critical and Curatorial Studies at the University of British Columbia and the BFA program in Art History from Concordia University in Montréal. Past projects include the exhibition The Wild so Close at the Or Gallery in Vancouver, B.C. and the online exhibition Arcadian Arrow, in association with ASDF Makes. An upcoming independent project for the Yukon Arts Centre in 2012 will present works related to sleep, dreaming, and the social realities of waking life. Her research pursuits have centered upon issues related to authenticity, social history, labour and leisure culture, and her MA thesis examined recent developments of the ‘tourist gaze’ in contemporary Vancouver art practice.
Meg Thornton - Executive Director
Meg Thornton is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and has worked in the media arts for over 25 years as an artist and an administrator. Meg joined Cineworks shortly after moving to Vancouver in the 1980’s. She is responsible for the overall administration of the organization and works with the Board of Directors and the staff to develop policies and programs which advance Cineworks' goals and objectives.
