Black Youth Filmmaking Fellowship Program

This FREE summer program is designed as an opportunity for Ottawa-based Black Youth ages 16-25 to learn fundamental knowledge, build skills and gain experience towards building a successful career in the film, media and TV industries

Every Sunday from July 17th-Aug 30th 2022, the program will provide hands-on curated workshops and masterclasses from industry professionals, access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at Lenz Studio, and opportunities to network and build relationships with industry members.
