UNSUNG VOICES YOUTH FILMMAKING WORKSHOP
This summer, the Unsung Voices Youth Filmmaking Workshop are well underway with shooting and post production. Unsung Voices is a free intensive workshop for youth ages 18-25 to get firsthand experience on creating a short film. See the finished product at this year’s festival, from November 8-16.
SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY
See how past Reel Asian alumni describe how the festival has impacted their careers:
[On Unsung Voices]: “It’s true! That’s actually the program that started it all for me; the first time as an artist I felt I had control of my career. I’m happy to say that Unsung Voices led to me eventually starting my own production company; now I’m in development with a major Canadian network!” – Simu Liu, actor of Kim’s Convenience
Anyone (everyone) can support the arts! even an modest individual effort can give confidence and support to artists! these things can build on each other! – Ann Marie Fleming, director, filmmaker of Window Horses
