Over the years, Ilana has given much now-recognized talent its first break, and she has consistently demonstrated a unique ability not only to identify talent, but also to nurture and develop it and integrate it into exciting and commercially successful productions Ilana's accomplishments were heralded at the 2007 Writer's Guild of Canada Awards when she was awarded the Alex Barris Mentorship Award for her efforts nurturing Canadian talent.

As one of the nine nomination letters for the WGC Award put it: "Ilana is a mentor, a bodyguard, a hustler, an advocate, a queen of ideas, a negotiator and a true friend. She isn't detached or objective; she isn't remotely hands off. (Thank God) She's passionate, engaged and "all-in" all the time. She believes in the voices of the artists she works with and helps them realize their vision."

In 2008 Ilana was also awarded the WIFT-T Crystal Award for Creative Excellence in recognition of her achievements and the dynamic quality of her work in the screen-based media industries.
