Host Steve Patterson joins this year’s panelists of broadcaster, actor and playwright Amanda Parris, film critic Mohit Rajhans and arts commentator Eli Glasner.
The shows are broadcast nationally in prime time over the CBC network with the aim to to increase the profile of young Canadian filmmakers. Telefilm Canada contributes a $30,000 cash award to the top filmmaker towards his or her next short film. Wm. F. White International donates $15,000 in equipment rentals awards.
2019 is the show’s 12th season. Many alumni who have gone on to direct feature films, according to a press release, include Nova Scotia filmmakers Andrew Bush, Jay Dahl, Ashley MacKenzie, Greg Jackson, Scott Simpson and Cory Bowles; Newfoundland-based filmmakers Stephen Dunn, Martine Blue and Jordan Canning and Vancouver’s Kyle Rideout.
