CBC, CAVCO, and CMPA are hosting a fifth season of One Stop Business Workshop, a series of FREE virtual information sessions that introduce emerging independent producers and content creators from traditionally underrepresented groups in the industry (Indigenous, Black, people of colour, women, LGBTQ2+, and people with disabilities) to topics related to the business and financing of TV, film, and original digital content.
This year there will be three sessions: June 6, 7 & 8.
If you want to catch up on any of the sessions from previous seasons, check them out on the One Stop Workshop site
