Opportunity awaits with the Canadian Media Fund!

The CFC Media Lab has joined forces with The Documentary Organization of Canada – Toronto, National Film Board, Hot Docs, and Ryerson, to present docSHIFT: a cutting edge initiative aimed at fostering collaborations and business opportunities between interactive media producers and documentary filmmakers.

docSHIFT is currently seeking applicants interested in participating in a 2-day weekend workshop (May 8-9th 2010) facilitated by the UK’s Frank Boyd. Frank is the past BBC Director of Creative Development and the visionary behind world-renowned Crossover Labs as well as part of the CFC Media Lab’s guest faculty roster for the TELUS Interactive Art & Entertainment Program.

If you are an experienced interactive digital media professional (games, mobile, web, AR) looking for opportunities in the burgeoning interactive documentary genre, this weekend should not be missed! Through participatory creative group exercises, the workshop is designed to break down walls between professional silos, develop common languages and perspectives and establish best practices for working together and ensuring success.

The docSHIFT Crossover Weekend is a pre-cursor to a five-day residential lab this Fall where select projects will move into development with the CFC Media Lab’s incubation support with Ryerson University.
