Speaker Spotlight
Keynote Presenter: Justin Rain
“Artist Inside”
Justin Rain, a proud Plains Cree actor and member of the Zagimē Anishinabēk Nation in South Saskatchewan, has built a remarkable career with over 70 television appearances. His standout roles include APTN’s award-winning Blackstone, AMC’s Fear The Walking Dead, SyFy’s Defiance (alongside Oscar nominee Graham Greene), The Killing, and CBC’s Heartland, Arctic Air, and The Guard. His film credits span Twilight: Eclipse (Summit Entertainment), Lean On Pete (A24), MOHAWK (Dark Sky Films), The Arrangement (E! Network), and Chicago Med (NBC). Currently starring in SyFy’s hit comedy Resident Alien, Justin sees creativity as more than art—it’s survival, transformation, and a path to reclaim identity and purpose. His mission is to empower others to find their voice through self-expression. Whether on screen or speaking to live audiences, Justin Rain is driven by a powerful purpose: to inspire, uplift, and remind people that no matter where they come from, they are capable of incredible things.
