We’re in @Variety! Proud to announce the new class of the Canadian Creative Accelerator, this one focused on getting French-language series from Quebec onto U.S. streaming platforms. There’s huge interest in intl programming, & French Canadian producers are poised for success!

Be sure to catch Jennifer Holness' thought-provoking documentary, Subjects of Desire (@SODdocumentary), at #HotDocs21! It's a culturally significant, thought-provoking documentary that carefully deconstructs what we understand about race and the power behind beauty.

This is an open call to Indigenous artists who identify as women and are working on their feature film! Apply to Sundance's Merata Mita Fellowship for support, in whatever current phase of development or production that might be. DM if you have any questions too!
☀️ We are now accepting applications for the 2021 Merata Mita Fellowship—which cultivates a stage for Indigenous women worldwide to tell their stories and offers a year-long continuum of support, mentorship opportunities, and more. Apply by 10/26. #IndigenousFilm
