Do people laugh when you tell them that you’re a Director? Are you tired of your parents telling you to give up playing with your camera and get a real job like your siblings? If so, then RBC can help. They’ve teamed up with BBDO Toronto the Toronto International Film Festival to offer their own Emerging Filmmaker Competition. Go checkout their website for more details, though you might want to do it soon. The top 25 applicants get to develop a 3-4 minute short film (with a camera and stipend donated by RBC) that will compete for one of five entries in the actual Toronto Film Festival (no lie!). There are a lot more details on the site including the prizes for making it to the TIFF.
Steven Tsuchida from Holiday Films directed all three with Chris Mably as the Director of Photography. Aaron Dark was the editor with School Editing (more credits listed below).
