The RBC YFF Mentorship Program is participant-driven program that connects emerging filmmakers with established industry professionals who can provide expert level advice and networking opportunities to help emerging talents in Canada’s creative industries.
“We are ecstatic to continue moving forward with RBC and the generous support they’ve provided to continue to deliver this program,” said YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden. “Being able to play a role in identifying and supporting emerging talent throughout our country has been such a rewarding experience, not only for our mentees, but for the mentors and for us as well.”
This a 46-hour mentorship and guidance program which brings together the participants with their mentor through in-person and digital channels.
“RBC is passionate about empowering our country’s emerging creatives to fulfil their dreams,” said Lori Chute, RBC Community Manager. “That’s why we partner with organizations like Yorkton Film Festival who have strong networks, resources, and platforms to help develop and amplify new talent and diverse perspectives.”
