Empowering Indigenous Storytellers
Our academy is dedicated to supporting Indigenous storytellers who have a passion for filmmaking. We aim to increase opportunities for securing and maintaining long-term employment in the Canadian film and television industry. Through a collaborative blend of professional mentorship and intensive certificate training, we offer both classroom learning and hands-on field training. By fostering industry connections, we help First Nations creatives nationwide secure job placements and build sustainable careers in this dynamic field.
A Holistic Approach
to Education
What sets our programs apart is the integration of mental health and well-being techniques. Research has shown that individuals living in extreme environments often struggle to process information effectively due to ongoing PTSD. Our curriculum is designed to help calm the nervous system, moving individuals out of "fight or flight" mode so they can fully absorb new information. We incorporate cultural practices alongside mental, spiritual, and emotional healing, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
