Organizer Windsor Centre for Film & Digital Media
Organizer of INDIVIDUAL DATES - THE BUSINESS OF FILMMAKING
The mission of the Windsor Centre for Film, Digital Media & the Creative Arts is to grow talent and jobs in media arts. The Centre hosts a growing film and creative arts program for kids and youth, adults and seniors. As well, the organizations hosts REEL Networking events, Mastershot Summit and educational programs for all ages.
Film Camp for Kids & Youth is hosted by the Centre and brings families into the downtown core for arts programs for those ages 8 to 17 years. “Boot camps” are dedicated to teaching the various elements of filmmaking and the creative arts, which gives kids and youth the opportunity not only to learn the aspects of film but transferrable real world skills as well. The program is preparing tomorrow’s leaders as filmmaking addresses teamwork, creativity, discipline, communications, writing and editing skills, and much more.
