Aleysa's work is fresh and funny, and the entire Community family was immediately drawn to it, says EP/Partner Lizzie Schwartz. Everyone laughed, because the work captures many of the hilarious truths about our modern lives, adds EP/Partner Carl Swan. We are very happy to have Aleysa join us and look forward to creating a lot more together.

It's recently garnered five Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Director. She recently wrapped Workin' Moms, a half-hour comedy series, as well This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a news satire show, both for CBC.

I was drawn to Community Films because of the quality of their work and roster, concludes Director Aleysa Young. In addition, Carl and Lizzie have extensive experience and backgrounds, and I knew I would be in good hands with them. Young continues: I wanted to find a boutique company with a manageably sized roster where I wouldn't get lost in the mix, and Community's well-curated group of talented directors seemed like a great fit. It was clear that Community really cares about the quality of the work, and that is very important to me.
