DOC NW Film Accounting Masterclass + 2025 AGM

Film Accounting Masterclass & DOC Northwest AGM

Join DOC Northwest on Wednesday, November 26 at CRAFT Beer Market, English Bay (1795 Beach Ave, Vancouver, BC V6G 1Y9) for an evening of learning, networking, and community!

We’re kicking things off with a member-exclusive Masterclass with Sherrill Sirrs, CPA, CMA — “Ask Me Anything: Film Accounting.”

**You must enter a promo code to access the Masterclass ticket. If you are a member and have not received an email, please email [email protected] for your special code**
Doors open at 4:00 PM, and the session begins at 4:30 PM. This interactive masterclass offers DOC Northwest members the rare opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of film finance with one of the industry’s most trusted experts. Expect to explore the ins and outs of film accounting, such as tax credit accounting (everyone’s favourite topic!) and come prepared with your burning questions.

Sherrill has generously offered to share her immense knowledge, insights, and a few behind-the-scenes stories from her decades in the business.

About Sherrill Sirrs, CPA, CMA:
Sherrill's journey into the world of film began in 1997, when she discovered a niche market that allowed her to merge her passion for independent film and television with the not-so-glamorous world of production accounting. Since then, she's built a client roster brimming with indie producers, earning dozens of film credits along the way. Need to know how to finance your next Oscar-worthy short? Or wondering how much craft services actually cost? Sherrill’s your go-to for all things film finance—just don't ask her to make popcorn. When she’s not crunching numbers for projects, she’s tackling tax credit accounting and corporate accounting for the film industry’s finest. From documentaries to comedies and everything in between Sherrill's been behind the scenes making sure the numbers add up, even when the plot doesn’t. Feel free to quiz her on the wild world of production—she's got more stories than IMDb.

Thank you to Creative BC for contributing to this masterclass!

After the masterclass, we’ll transition into our DOC Northwest Annual General Meeting for 2025.
Doors will re-open at 6:00 PM for AGM attendees, with the meeting starting at 6:30 PM.
