The Sundar Prize Film Festival is seeking applicants for this year’s Filmmaker Mentorship Program, a unique opportunity open to all emerging filmmakers in Canada who are looking to take their careers to the next level.
The Filmmaker Mentorship Program is designed to bridge the gap between aspiring filmmakers and established industry professionals. The program offers one-on-one mentorship, connecting emerging creatives with experienced artists who can provide invaluable guidance on their film projects.
Whether the aspiring filmmakers are in pre-production, production, or post-production with a project, the program gives them direct access to a mentor with proven experience in the Canadian film industry. Mentors come from diverse backgrounds and hold a minimum of three IMDb credits in key creative roles like directing, producing, editing, writing, or cinematography. With up to 15 one-hour sessions annually, mentees will receive personalized feedback, professional advice, and support as they work to bring their projects to life.
But that’s not all—the program also opens doors for networking with industry leaders, potential collaborators, and festival organizers. Both mentors and mentees receive all-access VIP passes to the Sundar Prize Film Festival, where they can attend exclusive screenings, panel discussions, and networking events. Plus, mentees have the chance to pitch their projects at an Open Mic session, providing exposure of their works to key figures in the Canadian film scene.

The Sundar Prize Film Festival is committed to supporting BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ filmmakers, with 30 to 50 percent of mentorship spots reserved for emerging filmmakers from B.C. This program isn’t just about professional growth—it’s about ensuring diverse, underrepresented voices are heard and celebrated in the film industry.
To qualify for a mentee position, applicants must be 19 or older and have fewer than three professional IMDb credits. Prospective mentees can submit a written application which includes the details of their film project, their goals for the mentorship, and a brief biography. Other components of the application include a CV, photo, and two professional community or film industry references.
Emerging filmmakers who are ready to turn their visions into reality can apply now by visiting the Sundar Prize Film Festival.
