Eddy Kara-Sarkissian (born 03 September 1988) is a Canadian political strategist, organizational psychologist, filmmaker, and actor.[1]. He began his filmmaking journey into the independent world directing several student films.
He first received acclaim in 2015 for his feature film The Sociopath's Guild, for which he won the Best Director Wreath Award, along with 9 other nominations, at the Montreal International Wreath Awards Film Festival (MIWAFF).[2]
Both in 2016 and 2017, he ran for the General Coordinator/President position of the Concordia Student Union where he wanted to improve the healthcare insurance plan to extend it to improve students' mental health [3].
Following his success with 'The Sociopath's Guild', he was selected to be the Festival Director of the Montreal International Wreath Awards Film Festival (MIWAFF) in 2016 up until 2022. He led the festival to transformative changes in the digital space, entering into the streaming sphere way before the COVID outbreak as well as making the voting process more democratic [1].
In 2021, Eddy won the Best Comedy Director award at the New York True Venture Film Festival for his political comedy "No, Mr. Mayor-Part 2".
Late in 2021, Eddy Kara ran for city council in his hometown Dollard-des-Ormeaux, where he focused on not increasing taxes and building a better community during hard times [4].
In the last decade, Eddy has been heavily involved in managing many political campaigns, from provincial to federal ones. This led him to launch his own business Kara Strategies which focuses on business and political strategy [1]. More recent campaigns he has managed were the Quebec Liberal nomination wins in Laurier Dorion and Chomedey.
He graduated from Adler University in 2022 with a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology[5]
In early 2023, he founded and hosts his political podcast "Our Bottom Line: Views about News"[6]
