Access+ is an advanced professional development and mentorship program presented by EAVE and the National Screen Institute in partnership with Canada Media Fund. This program is open exclusively to alum of Access BIPOC Producers or the EAVE On Demand Access Program.
Access+ picks up where your training left off, this time in the international marketplace. The program is designed to deepen your industry connections and position your projects and company for global opportunities. To be eligible, you must have an established production company and an active slate or project ready for international markets.
Through tailored training, one-on-one mentorship and a strategic delegation to the International Film Festival Rotterdam in the Netherlands, you will develop your company and slate strategy, explore financing, legal and co-production approaches, sharpen your international pitch and build relationships with partners and buyers.
Limited travel support is provided for both in-person training and market attendance in Rotterdam. Up to 10 participants will be selected. Questions? Contact senior programs manager Ursula Lawson at ursula.lawson@nsi-canada.ca. Disability accommodation is available upon request.
