The Toronto Filmmakers’ Institute Program is designed to provide Short Filmmakers a platform to showcase their product while also educating them on how to capitalize on an international festival where films are bought, sold, distributed and financed.
Each participant will be placed into a group of filmmakers with variety experience. They will be provided with all the latest equipment such as a camera, microphone and a laptop (with editing software) to complete a 5-minute short film. Their completed film will be automatically submitted into a Short Film Competition called “We Made It In Toronto.” A panel of industry professional jurors will adjudicate the selection of short films with cash prizes and trophies awarded to the top three groups.
