Creators in the program will receive: Regular feedback on all aspects of their production, including editorial and technical input;
Training on topics such as storytelling, sound design, and reaching audiences through marketing and engagement;
Equipment and software to help meet independent production needs amid the challenging circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic; and,
Up to $12,000 in funding for use as they see fit for their productions.
