Indira Balkissoon

Policy & Advocacy Strategist | Champion for Canadian Storytelling

I work at the intersection of policy and production to build a more sustainable and equitable future for Canada's film and television industry. At the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA), I provide the crucial research and analysis that powers our advocacy on key files like the CRTC modernization and our annual Profile Report.

My work ensures that the voices and economic realities of independent producers are heard where it matters most, shaping policies that directly impact funding and creative sovereignty.

My unique perspective is grounded in a background of film scholarship, festival strategy, and a commitment to amplifying diverse narratives. I am a bridge-builder, connecting the creative energy of our production community with the strategic levers of regulatory change.

Let's connect to shape the next chapter of Canadian content.
