Eight alumni films will screen as part of the short film program The Messenger in celebration of National Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
The Messenger, presented by the Winnipeg Film Group’s Cinematheque, Urban Shaman and imagineNATIVE, is a collection of 13 short films curated by imagineNATIVE’s Kaitlynn Tomaselli.
Two writers and two directors will be chosen to work on the set of the hit Citytv series Hudson & Rex shooting its fourth season in St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador.
Selected writers will spend four weeks on separate episodes between July and November this year. The writers will work remotely in the show’s virtual writers room for the first three weeks and one week on set learning about changes made to various drafts of the scripts.
Selected directors will shadow a director on separate episodes of the Hudson & Rex set for four weeks. They will participate in production meetings with the various departments observing the casting process, location scouting, tech scouting, and having direct contact with the director during their day-to-day interactions with key crew.
A $3,500 honorarium will be paid to each participant, and travel and accommodation will be provided.
The deadline to apply is June 22. Selected participants will be notified by June 30.
