THE INDIE FILMMAKERS LAB 2019 EDITION | The Indie Filmmakers Lab (now formally known as CineLab) is a two week filmmaking program offered by The Cinematheque for youth ages 14-19. Its aim is to support the creation of high quality short films. Provided with excellent facilities and professional filmmaking equipment at SFU School for the Contemporary Arts, participants develop technical skills, collaborate with their peers and receive mentorship from dedicated film instructors. The Indie Filmmakers Lab supports motivated youth in taking the first step in their professional filmmaking careers.
In 2018 and 2019, I was the Program Director for Indie Filmmakers Lab. I created and managed artistic curriculum for the Program, managed all of its promotional video and photographic documentation and facilitated the creation of innovative, passionate work from diverse voices. With the help of the Program’s film instructors, I organized and led several creative training sessions including: directing & acting, lighting & cinematography, sound recording, visual storytelling, scriptwriting, editing, sound design, colour correction and much more.
