Capilano University has launched a six-day workshop to train Indigenous filmmakers in production management. Offered through the university’s Indigenous Digital Accelerator, the program equips participants to manage productions from script to post. “There remains a severe underrepresentation of Indigenous filmmakers working in below-the-line roles,” said CapU Director of the Bosa Centre for Film & Animation Doreen Manuel. “This training will help fill that gap.” The online program was designed to accommodate working professionals and is offered to participants at no cost through a partnership with REEL Canada. Participant Rachel CrowSpreadingWings of the Kainai First Nation called it “an opportunity to explore employment” and build networks for Indigenous storytellers.
