Call for submissions: TIFF STUDIO

The Toronto International Film Festival has put out a call for submissions to their inaugural STUDIO program for mid-level producers. This is the first of their year-round industry development programs and starts this September during the 37th annual Toronto International Film Festival.

"STUDIO will consist of interactive sessions throughout the coming year (September 2012 to August 2013). These sessions will offer candidates the opportunity to cultivate their knowledge in a challenging environment. The sessions will also offer expert insights into the business of film production, by providing in-depth views on relevant topics ranging from screenwriting to film financing to the new age of movie marketing.

"This programme will allow chosen candidates to interact with internationally acclaimed industry professionals — including acclaimed filmmakers, experienced producers and other experts in both the Canadian and international film industry. Some sessions will be offered exclusively for the programme's chosen candidates, while others will be open to all industry professionals."

At least for now, it is being offered to a selected group of 16 mid-level, Ontario-based content producers. The program is free for those who are chosen to participate.

The deadline for applications is Friday, August 10, 2012 at 5:00pm.
