Deep Focus is a free workshop series that invites film lovers and emerging creators from equity-seeking communities to explore the many facets of film as a medium for creative self-expression, essential skills development, and social connection in a supportive online environment.

We’re teaming up with POV and award-winning sound designer Maddie Bautista for an interactive workshop about sound design as a tool to support your creative practice across various media and stages of production. Join Bautista and Oyin Olalekan, Programs Manager at POV, to learn about how sound can be used to tell immersive stories by evoking things like emotion, memory, place, and embodied experience for your audience.  

This workshop will take place via Zoom on Tuesday, July 13 at 6:30pm–8:00pm EDT. Participation is open to all, but capacity is limited and priority will be given to registrants who self-identify as emerging artists who are Black, Indigenous, and/or people of colour and/or LGBTQ+.

The deadline to register is Monday, July 12 at 4:00pm. You will receive the Zoom login details on Monday, July 12 at 5:00pm .
