Still thinking about the incredible conversations from Funding Your Vision 🎬✨

A huge thank you to Nick Haywood from the Film & Video Arts Society of Alberta for leading such an insightful session and sharing valuable knowledge with our community of filmmakers, artists, and storytellers.

From funding tips to creative guidance, the room was filled with inspiration, curiosity, and big ideas for what’s next.
