The Telling our Stories Project is a part-time, 14-week program designed to train and mentor four young aspiring First Nations filmmakers through the entire process of making their first short documentary. From the pen to the big-screen, this program is designed to train urban youth who wouldn’t necessarily be able to attain access to other filmmaking training programs.

It’s hands-on, real world training in writing, directing, filming and editing documentary taught by professional filmmakers. It’s also completely free to the successful applicant.

There will be no evaluation, no marks, just filmmaking. At the end of the program, we’ll screen all four films to the community on the big screen.
