Transportation, meals and six-nights accommodation will be provided for eight to 10 aspiring filmmakers. An additional 15 spaces is available people living in or near Thunder Bay.
The workshop is sponsored by Flash Frame, a film and video company based out of Thunder Bay, and Bay Street Film Festival, in partnership with Keewaytinook Okimakanak.
