The Indigenous Screen Office and Netflix partner to develop the next generation of Indigenous creators in Canada

TORONTO, ON —- The Indigenous Screen Office is proud to announce a new partnership with Netflix that will deliver a suite of partnership programs that aim to develop the next generation of Indigenous creators across Canada.

“ISO spent the last year in consultations with Indigenous creators and this fund responds to their expressed need for new funding opportunities that will advance work and career opportunities, as well as allow them to follow protocols and practices that are central to Indigenous ways of working,” says Jesse Wente, director of the Indigenous Screen Office.

The announcement, made at the Banff World Media Festival yesterday, will see Netflix join The Indigenous Screen Office (ISO), imagineNATIVE and Wapikoni Mobile deliver programs that range from screenwriting intensives to apprenticeship programs.

The ISO-Netflix Production Mentorship and Apprenticeship Program will provide second phase support for Indigenous projects that may have received development support through other programs such as those offered by imagineNATIVE Institute, Hot Docs, Banff World Media Festival, or Whistler Film Festival, as well as others. The Program will include two streams: Key Creative Apprenticeships and Cultural Mentorships for directors, producers, screenwriters and showrunners.
