The primary objective of the project is to produce short documentaries that delve into the narratives, creative processes, and inspirations of emerging Canadian artists. This is achieved through an 8-week mentorship initiative where film students are paired with Artterra's represented artists. Within this framework, students are not only tasked with capturing the essence of the artists and their work but also benefit from training, mentorship, and real-world experience, culminating in films that are showcased on Artterra's YouTube channel.

You can watch videos from our previous cohort here.

1. Pre-production: Plan content and familiarize with the artist's background.
2. Storyboarding: Design a visual and narrative structure.
3. Skill Development: Attend mentor-led training sessions.
4. Filming: Capture artist interactions, processes, and interviews on-site.
5. Post-production: Edit and assemble the documentary with necessary elements.
6. Feedback & Revisions: Incorporate feedback from mentors and Artterra.

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. Mentorship and script feedback will be provided.
