We're gathering all local non-fiction filmmakers for Video Consortium's Toronto Hub launch! Join us for a fun gathering to celebrate the launch of Canada's first Video Consortium hub.

The Toronto Hub is all about bringing people together. Our goal is to build a dynamic community of nonfiction storytellers, host events for all types of creatives, and stay responsive to what members need as the hub grows. By creating space to build connections and collaborations, we hope to spark new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities across the field.
