IN MY TOOLKIT came out of a need for spaces dedicated to prioritizing the sharing of skills and resources in scripted filmmaking for 2SQTBIPOC. This program will focus on all of those nitty gritty tips and tricks that we learn on-the-go in practicing our craft.

Spreadsheets, breakdowns, shot lists and art kits!
Networking strategies and self-branding for filmmakers!
Breaking scripts for writers rooms and idea-generating routines!
Writing scripts you know you can execute as a director!

Whether you have an untapped, passive interest in scripted film or have a few projects under your belt already, come learn from fellow 2SQTBIPOC on how we found solutions to all of the unpredictable obstacles that always seem to keep coming our way! Our aim is to make sure you'll be able to walk away with tangible hard and soft skills to apply to your practice, and to empower fellow creators to never stop taking up space and telling our stories.

In partnership with Toronto Arts Council and Charles Street Video

Run by Kourtney Jackson at Charles Street Video and Carolyn (Jay) Wu
