Over five snowy days in January, we brought together twenty-four emerging creatives to be mentored by mid-career artists. The workshop focussed on bridging working actors and directors, through a series of practical and theory-based exercises that give an overview of film, television and commercial best practices.

Mentors included Dir. Zarrar Kahn (In Flames – Cannes 2023), Dir. Jasmin Mozaffari (Ginny & Georgia – Netflix), Casting Dir. Colleen Rush (Late Bloomer – Casting for Crave), Acting Mentor Mohammad Ali Hashmi (Coinbase, Google), Acting Mentor Feaven Abera (Wayward – Netflix), Dir. Simon Paluck (TD, Pantene) and Acting Mentor Brittany J. Miller (Starbucks, TD, Mr.Clean).
