Story Behind ConneKt Film
Hi, I'm Anya
Founder, ConneKt Film
I am an immigrant from Ukraine and finding my path in Canada hasn’t been easy. I didn’t know a single person and how the industry worked. It was a steep learning curve but after a lot of research I discovered unions, organizations and film communities and had a realization - everything in the film industry is word of mouth.
Thankfully, I met a lot of incredible people and mentors who helped me get into the industry, but this is not the case for everyone...and I want to help bridge that gap.
I work a lot with emerging talent, new immigrants and young student filmmakers who are in the same boat that I was when I got here. While I also come across industry peers who often express the difficulty in keeping track of multiple funding deadlines, groups and jobs.
My aim with ConneKt Film is to bring new and veteran industry filmmakers and industry partners together for peer support, networking and mentoring while giving both an up-to-date round up of whats happening in the industry in their city. And we are starting with Toronto! Ready to roll!
