Film commissioner Peter Hayman is no longer with the Langford-based Vancouver Island South Film & Media Commission, after less than two months on the job.
Hayman was selected from nearly 70 nationwide candidates, and brought with him 25 years of related experience, a press release by the film commission said at the time of his hiring. Gilbert, Victoria’s longest-serving film commissioner, agreed to remain with the commission in a training and consulting capacity until June 1, after which point she officially retired.
Although his employee profile remains on the commission’s website, there is no mention of Hayman’s stint at the film commission on his Linkedin profile, the popular business- and employment-focused social media platform. According to the site, his previous experience includes time as the executive director of the International Cinematographers Guild, which is based in Vancouver.
