Top Struggling Industries in Canada Amidst the PandemicTop Struggling Industries in Canada Amidst the Pandemic
Independent Films / Independent Production2020 started a bit rocky and continued to be one of the most challenging years of our lives. We’ve seen a lot of our fellow indie filmmakers and music producers cease their projects due to the pandemic. Globally, most industries are suffering from most human activities being disrupted. Here in Canada, two industries heavily impacted are starting to see better days. Gambling Industry It is not only Canada but globally, casinos all over shut down. Here in Canada, gambling survived through online gambling. It was recently reported that online poker around the globe reached a record high. Most online casino operators, particularly Playamo casino online are maximizing their platform to remedy the situation. We’ve seen a lot of casino executives invest a lot in technology to transfer their operations from the casino floor to the online world. After publishing a couple of blog entries related to online gambling, we’ve found out that many of our readers picked up online gambling as a hobby during this crisis. With the vaccine still a long way to go, casinos in Canada are thinking of new ways to approach their operations under the Covid-19 crisis. In Northern Ontario, casinos are hoping to re-open but recovery is going to be a big struggle during and even after the pandemic. However, with the great turnout for online gambling, the market is on its way to the recovery and casinos in Canada are positioning themselves to fully benefit when they bounce back. Film Industry Billions of investments in Canada’s film industry this year are not down the drain entirely. In Alberta, movie theatres and other entertainment attraction venues are starting to reopen. However, the operation will not be at 100% given that there are still health protocols needed to be observed, mainly social distancing. Distribution for indie films is also getting a lot of attention. Funding might soon come up, especially for anticipated projects for 2020. The same can’t be said for the music industry though in Canada. Earlier in April, the music industry asked support from the Federal Government for urgent relief. There are still no updates on the matter. The film industry has been struggling ever since 2020 started. But there are already significant improvements compared to April and May.

Well, if you can, then you can make all the music you want. Making music is not only for people with million-dollar studios. Right now, you can make music at your home.

2 Important Events in 2020 for Indie Music2 Important Events in 2020 for Indie Music
Independent Music / Independent ProductionIndie music continues to make waves in the global music industry. It might not be as decorated as mainstream music, but it has inspired a lot of successful commercial artists. 2020 is a year to go down in indie music history. We have listed two particular events that caused a massive shake-up both positively and negatively to indie music. Here they are. Billie Eilish’s Massive Win During the 2020 Grammy Music icon Billie Eilish is a newcomer in the music industry, and she already has 5 Grammy awards under her resume. In the most recent Grammy Awards, Eilish won most of the major awards including Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album. Now here is how we connect the line with indie music. Eilish’s music is highly considered as pop music, but it is also indie music. Thousands of aspiring indie musicians across the globe were inspired by Eilish’s massive accomplishments at the age of 18. She’s not even old enough to drink yet. Eilish’s music is now a beacon of light for so many indie artists and musicians out there. Eilish is now considered one of the biggest Indie pop singers and songwriters to go down in history. No one saw it coming. Covid-19 Pushed Indie Musicians to Release New Music It has been determined that Indie artists are already releasing new music at a faster rate back in February this year. However, more and more are coming because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In music streaming applications, people are making playlists of nothing but Indie music hits. That has encouraged more indie artists and bands to release new music. Some are experienced and some are novices. We have seen a lot of new releases by artists and bands we’ve never even heard of before. Some people stuck at home are also getting motivated to make music of their own. They of course mostly start with indie and acoustic. Nevertheless, it has truly been a challenging and amazing couple of months with the pandemic still rampant in many nations. People are finding solace in music, especially to the music they can connect with.
