From Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival:
The Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival’s UNSUNG VOICES Video Production Workshop will provide emerging artists the chance to express themselves through film and media art, learn from professionals in the field, and to produce a distinct story for the screen.
A select group of emerging filmmakers will be provided an opportunity to produce and present their film (8 mins maximum), in any genre (eg. fiction, documentary, experimental, etc). The entire collection of films will receive a world premiere at the 27th Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival in November 2023.
